DENVER — Windy and cool weather covers Colorado in the wake of a cold front that blew across the state on Wednesday. Behind that front, the weather will stay colder than average for mid-to late April, along with some periods of rain and snow.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the northern mountains from 9 AM Friday through 9 AM Saturday for 4 to 8 inches of snow. A mix of rain and snow will develop for Denver and the I-25 Corridor late Friday and continue through Saturday morning. Snow accumulations for lower elevations should be light - perhaps an inch or two on grassy surfaces.
Temperatures will stay chilly both Friday and Saturday with nighttime lows in the 20s to low 30s on the plains and teens to low 20s in the mountains. Highs will be in the upper 40s to low 50s for Denver and vicinity on Friday and stay in the 40s on Saturday. In the mountains, readings will only climb into the 30s.
Sunday will be a little better with some sunshine and slightly milder weather. Highs will reach into the upper 50s for the Denver area and into the 40s in the mountains.
More chilly and wet weather will return early next week with more mountain snow on Monday and some rain showers for the plains. The weather will stay cool and unsettled through Wednesday.
