FORECAST AT A GLANCE:
Enjoy your last warm day, Friday, before big changes move in for the weekend!
Afternoon highs will reach the middle to upper 80s, Friday, staying mild through the evening hours, with overnight lows in the middle 50s.
Our next system approaches midday Saturday, and it’s a going to be a big one! We’ll start the day sunny, Saturday, then midday cloud cover will start to move in, along with gusty winds, up to 20 to 30 mph. By Saturday evening, prepare for widespread rain showers across the front range, with some heavy, wet mountain snow.
Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for Rocky Mountain National Park, the mountains of Summit County, the Mosquito Range and Indian Peaks, Saturday evening through noon Sunday. These areas can expect up 4 to 9 inches of wet snow, causing slick road conditions.
To the south, areas near the San Luis Valley will be under a Marginal Risk for severe weather, with gusty winds, heavy downpours and lightning/thunder being the biggest impacts.
By Sunday morning, the front range is likely to see up to an inch of rain, while the high country could see several inches of snowfall. Once this system moves out, we’ll see some partial clearing, with chilly temperatures left behind. Bundle up as highs will max out in the middle 50s!
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, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
