Northeast wind gusts will reach as high as 35 miles per hour.

The Weather Service said that travel could be very difficult to impossible, with patch blowing snow that could significantly reduce visibility.

Whiteout conditions could be possible.

Interstate 25 and other major highways will be impacted by the storm, so the Weather Service suggests allowing extra time to reach your destination, or to make alternate travel plans.
