A High Wind Warning remains in effect until midnight MST tonight.

Some highways that will be especially vulnerable to the high

Broomfield and Estes Park... Highway 93 between Boulder and
Golden... Highway 470 along the foothills... and Interstate 25 and

Peak wind speeds this afternoon include 88 mph at Evergreen... 81 mph
at Genesee and Rocky Flats... 67 mph in Broomfield... 64 mph in
Longmont... and 53 mph in Boulder and Fort Collins.
Remember... a High Wind Warning means that strong and potentially

in the warning area are urged to bring indoors any loose items
such as garbage cans and patio furniture that may be blown about
by the strong winds.
