It may officially be the spring season, but it'll feel and look more like winter across Colorado's High Country this weekend.
Our next storm will bring heavy snow to the mountains starting late tonight and will continue through much of the day on Saturday. It'll be a tough Saturday morning drive up I-70 for skiiers with snow and strong winds. A winter weather advisory is in effect until midnight Saturday for about 5 to 10 inches of fresh snow at many of Colorado's ski resorts, along with 50 mph wind gusts. Visibility could be an issue at times.
We'll see a slight chance of showers across the plains Saturday as that storm rolls through. It'll be a blustery day in the Denver metro and along the Eastern Plains as winds could gust up to 50 mph. A Red Flag Warning is in effect in the Denver metro and along I-76 from noon until 8pm Saturday for high fire danger.
Daytime highs will top out in the low 60s on Saturday, with upper 50s to low 60s and a bit more sunshine on Sunday.
So far, it looks like 70-degree heat makes a comeback next week. Temperatures will soar a solid 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of the year.
The final week of March looks to go out more like a lamb! We could hit a high of 80 degrees on Thursday, so some near-record highs are possible.
