DENVER — FORECAST BY: 9NEWS Weather Impact Team Meteorologist Chris Spears
FORECAST AT A GLANCE:
Big changes are in store this weekend as we get ready to welcome fall at 6:43 p.m. on Sunday.
Most of the day looks to be alright for outdoor activities. Rain and snow will begin to develop this afternoon in western and southern Colorado. This will spread to the central parts of the state by this evening.
The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has issued a Weather Impact Day for tonight and tomorrow morning to create an awareness of this weather change. This storm will have the most impact on those planning to travel overnight, especially through the north-central mountains. Any evening or overnight plans in Denver will also be wet.
Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for Rocky Mountain National Park, the mountains of Summit County, the Mosquito Range and Indian Peaks from 6 p.m. this evening through noon Sunday. These areas can expect up to 4 to 9 inches of wet snow, causing slick road conditions.
Sunday will be the coolest day of the upcoming week, with highs for many locations running several degrees below normal. The day will start off cloudy around the region but we should see some clearing through the afternoon.
Monday, temperatures rebound a bit, with seasonal highs in the middle 70s. We’ll also watch for another round of late-day showers.
Another cooler day is in store for Tuesday, with afternoon temperatures dropping again, into the upper 60s. Keep an eye out for slight rain chances.
By the middle of next week, we’ll see some sunshine return, with temperatures starting to level out in the middle 80s to lower 90s on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
