DENVER — Look for mostly clear skies this evening across the state. Overnight lows will dip into the mid to upper 30s across the northern Colorado plains ushering in a bit of frost by Wednesday morning.
After a very brief cool off, temperatures skyrocket yet again mid-week. We'll be in the upper-70s to low-80s Wednesday and mid-70s Thursday along with gusty winds. Fire danger concerns will heighten across eastern Colorado with the warm, above-average temperatures, strong southwesterly winds and low humidity values.
Finally, it looks like we'll see some much needed moisture by the end of the week! A winter-like storm will move into Colorado Friday and into the weekend. So far, it appears the mountains will see a bit of snow with rainfall for the Denver metro. As the storm gets closer, we'll have a better idea of the exact timing, track and precipitation totals.
It will usher in much cooler temperatures for the end of the week into this weekend. Look for highs in the 50s and 60s under mostly cloudy skies.
It's been awhile since Denver's seen rain. Friday will be the first chance of showers since Sept. 22. The Front Range is parched, and we desperately need the water!
This storm moves out of the metro Sunday, and the sunshine and warmer weather move back in early next week.
