DENVER- Quiet Weather Ahead
For the next few days, Denver can expect mostly quiet weather. Through Monday, high pressure will keep conditions calm, with sunny skies prevailing. Nighttime temperatures will drop into the low 30s in the metro area, while colder spots may see lows in the teens and twenties. Patchy fog may develop overnight, especially in areas with snow cover, but overall, Monday should be pleasant with temperatures close to normal.
Winds Picking Up
As we move into Tuesday, a shift in the weather pattern will bring gusty winds to the area. The afternoon will see increasing winds, particularly from the south, as a front approaches from the west. This may lead to some visibility issues due to fog in low-lying areas on Tuesday morning, especially in Weld and Morgan Counties. Be prepared for changing weather conditions if you're commuting early Tuesday.
Snow Showers in the Mountains
On Tuesday afternoon, mountain snow showers are expected to develop as moisture increases with the incoming weather system. Although only a few inches of snow are expected, it’s worth noting if you're planning any mountain activities. The snow is not likely to impact the Denver metro area directly, but those in the mountains should be aware of the possibility of slick roads.
Temperature Drop with Windy Conditions
As the cold front moves through Tuesday night into Wednesday, temperatures will drop slightly. Expect gusty winds behind the front, particularly across the eastern plains. The foothills may experience even stronger winds due to mountain wave activity. While Wednesday will be cooler, dry conditions are anticipated to settle in behind the front.
Looking Ahead
As we head toward the end of the week, Thursday is expected to be the warmest day, with temperatures rising above normal. However, another front is expected to approach over the weekend, which may bring another round of mountain snow and a cool-down for metro Denver.
