DENVER — After the second coldest Rockies home opener, warmer weather is on the way for the weekend games!
Light snow will continue to fall along the I-25 corridor and into the Front Range foothills this evening. We'll see a trace to an inch of new snow on the grassy surfaces by Saturday morning in the Denver metro area, with a few inches in the foothills and closer to the Palmer Divide.
Look for mostly cloudy skies early Saturday with clearing around the lunch hour in Denver. Daytime highs will still be on the cooler side, in the mid to upper 40s.
It'll be a bit warmer on Sunday with highs in the upper 50s as a ridge of high-pressure moves into the state. This gradual warming trend will continue into next week, with temperatures climbing and feeling a lot more like the spring season.
Daytime highs will be in the mid 60s on Monday with low to mid 70s for the rest of the work week. We'll have plenty of sunshine to go with the spring heat too. In fact, Denver could see its first official 80-degree day next Friday.
