We’re in the 60s today under mainly sunny skies, but we’ll get a taste of all four seasons over the next few days.
DENVER — FORECAST BY: 9NEWS Weather Impact Team Meteorologists Chris Bianchi
THE FORECAST AT A GLANCE:
After our coolest morning in almost six months, we’ll rebound temperatures nicely today under southerly winds. Highs will reach the mid-60s under mainly sunny skies, after a low of about 33° officially at Denver International Airport (the low was warmer downtown and for most of the metro area, though).
It’ll stay warm through the upcoming weekend, with highs spiking into the mid-70s on Saturday and we’ll be near 80° on both Sunday and Monday, with near-record heat possible for the latter two days.
We’ll have to watch for some wind and high fire danger on Monday ahead of our next storm system that arrives on Tuesday. That storm will bring us our first widespread freeze (32° or lower temperature) across the I-25 urban corridor, and it’ll bring us some rain showers initially on Tuesday night before potentially flipping over to snow for Wednesday morning.
If you’re a snow-lover, don’t get too excited (yet) in the Denver area: This doesn’t look like much, but it could be enough to get us on the board for the first time this season. The mountains could get several inches of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, though.
Otherwise, chilly temperatures will be the big story next week, with highs mostly in the 40s and 50s. We may have another rain or snow chance later in the week, though computer models are in disagreement about that part of the forecast.
In the meantime, enjoy the warmer weather if that’s your thing, and if not, you’ll get the big cooldown next week!
