Gusty winds will persist over the region today, especially east of the I-25 corridor.  Areas of blowing dust will be possible with those winds across the plains.  Periods of snow are expected to continue over the central mountains into this evening where 1-3 inches of additional snow could fall.  Otherwise, it will be partly to mostly cloudy over the region with below average temperatures for the remainder of the afternoon.   (Please visit http://weather.gov/pub for more information.)
