DENVER — Summer lovers, soak in the next few days! We're in for plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid- to upper-80s across the Denver metro area from Thursday and Friday. Winds will pick up a bit on Friday leading to another day of high fire danger.
Big changes roll in this weekend! A cold front will approach the state starting Friday evening, with a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms over western Colorado.
The cooler air will move into the Front Range Saturday morning with scattered showers and storms picking up by the afternoon. The heaviest rain will fall Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning. Some areas around the city could get up to an inch of water! Temperatures will only warm into the lower 70s Saturday with upper 60s on deck Sunday. It will feel and look like fall as we welcome in the new season on Sunday. Autumn will officially begin on Sunday at 6:43 a.m.
Some snow will fall on the peaks above 9,000 feet on Saturday. Some areas could see between 3 to 6 inches of fresh snow by midday Sunday. The showers will slowly move out of the state Sunday afternoon and evening.
