DENVER — Colorado football fans heading to either the CU game in Boulder on Saturday or the Broncos matchup on Sunday will enjoy a mixed-bag of weather.
Outdoor conditions on Saturday will be beautiful for fans at CU’s home opener against Nebraska, says Denver7 morning meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo.
“By about 10 o’clock, right around kick-off, expect to see a lot of sunshine and a beautiful start to the day. It’s going to be extremely comfortable in the morning,” said Hidalgo.
Expect around 75 degrees and mostly sunny skies then warming into the low 80s by around 1 p.m. near the end of the game with some cloud cover rolling through.
CU Boulder says gates for the Buffs vs. Cornhuskers game open at 8 a.m.with the pregame tailgating party starting at 7 a.m.
Temps around that time should be near 60 degrees with no rainfall in sight.
