DENVER (AP) - Strong winds from a cold front are kicking up dust across the Eastern Plains and delaying some flights at Denver International Airport.
Frontier Airlines canceled a handful of flights Monday because of the winds, which have been gusting up to 60 mph, in the eastern half of the state.
They’ve fueled grass fires in Colorado Springs, Aurora and La Junta. Low visibility from dust and smoke from a fire 20 miles east of Sterling shut down Interstate 76.
The system is also bringing snow to parts of the mountains. Vail Pass was temporarily shut down because of accidents in the morning.
