Wind reports across Colorado
Posted

Winds across Colorado on Saturday were very strong with some areas getting over 100mph. Most of these reports came out of the mountains, and a few ski resorts received strong winds too.

Winter Park had a gust at 4:20 A.M. at 104mph. Breckenridge also has some strong winds and reported a gust of 98 mph.

Winds like this can be dangerous for skiers, but even at the lower elevations strong winds were an issue.

Southern Colorado reported winds between 60-75mph. Take a look below at some of the reports across the area.
