DENVER (CBS4) – A weather station just north of Carter Lake at the base of the foothills in Larimer County clocked a 100 mph wind gust around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. It was the strongest gust produced by the latest wind event to hit to Colorado.
Gusts routinely reached over 65 mph Monday night and Tuesday morning in and near the foothills in Jefferson, Boulder, and Larimer Counties. At the intersection of Highway 93 and Highway 72 near Rocky Flats winds reached 80 mph and gusts reached at least 70 mph in Genesee and Glen Haven near Estes Park. Hurricane force wind starts at 74 mph and the 100 mph gust at Carter Lake was the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane.
