A cold front approaches the area throughout Monday with some peaks of sun ahead of the front. Overcast skies by lunch time and the front moves through between lunch and dinner time.
Winds ramp up quickly with gusts up to 65 MPH for the plains and as high as 85 MPH for the Rocky Mountain. There is even the chance of some scattered thunderstorms with the front.
