Expect partly cloudy skies with strong winds developing in the foothills and higher elevations. Winds could reach 90 mph in exposed areas, particularly west of Fort Collins and Boulder. Highs will be near 59°F (15°C) with lows dropping to 44°F (7°C) overnight.

The winds will persist through Monday morning before gradually tapering off. Conditions will be mild and sunny, with highs around 62°F (16°C) and overnight lows cooling to 24°F (-4°C). Travel could be impacted in wind-prone areas, so exercise caution.
