Tonight, the weather will clear up, with skies becoming mostly clear as we head into Monday. However, temperatures will drop significantly, with readings expected to range between 5 and 15°F across the plains. Some northern and northeastern areas could see temperatures in the 20s and 30s, with the Palmer Divide also likely staying cooler due to lingering low clouds. A few light snow showers are still possible in the mountains this evening, but they are expected to diminish overnight.
On Monday, expect sunny skies and warming temperatures. Highs across the plains will climb into the mid to high 40s. The Palmer Divide may remain a bit cooler, especially in areas with deeper snowpack. The weather will remain dry, with no significant moisture expected. Winds will be light, and the day should be quite pleasant overall.
Looking ahead to the early part of the week, dry conditions will dominate. Temperatures will stay near normal, with highs in the 40s across the plains. This period will be marked by weak westerly winds and generally clear skies, so it should be a quiet start to the week. However, there may still be some low clouds lingering in parts of the region, particularly near the mountains and the Palmer Divide.
As we approach the middle of the week, there is some uncertainty about a potential storm system that could bring snow and rain. This system, which could arrive by Thursday evening into Friday, is still being tracked, but its exact path remains unclear. Models suggest the system could either take a southerly route, which would limit precipitation to the Palmer Divide, or a slightly more northerly path, which could bring more widespread rain and snow to both the plains and high country. Confidence in this event is still low, with a 20-30% chance of precipitation.
Finally, by the weekend, temperatures are expected to warm up significantly, with highs potentially reaching 60°F in Denver by Sunday. This would represent a shift to much milder conditions, with above-normal temperatures for late January. This period should see dry, sunny weather with little to no precipitation in the forecast.
