DENVER –
This week will start with light snow in the mountains, beginning late Monday and continuing through Tuesday. While the mountains will see some snow accumulation, the chances for snow for metro Denver and the plains are very low. Overall, Monday will remain dry with clear skies before clouds move in by the evening.
On Tuesday, expect a cold and breezy day, particularly in the mountains and foothills, where winds may reach gusts of 50-60 mph. Light snow showers will develop thanks to the passage of a cold front, but the limited moisture will likely restrict accumulation to just a few inches on favored slopes. The Front Range will mostly experience cold conditions with a stiff breeze vs accumulating snow. However, we can rule out a few flurries on Tuesday.
By Wednesday, conditions will dry out significantly as a high-pressure system moves in. This change will bring warmer temperatures, with daytime highs expected to reach the upper 50s to low 60s across the lower elevations. However, areas still covered by snow may remain cooler.
As we head into the latter part of the week, the warming trend is expected to continue, with generally pleasant weather. There is some uncertainty for the weekend as a new weather system heads our way, but for now, we can anticipate above-normal temperatures and clear skies for most of the week.
