DENVER — A nice night for some football, but clouds and cooler conditions are coming for Friday.
Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s for Denver, the eastern plains and the western valleys have made for a perfect Autumn afternoon. In the mountains, highs hit the middle 50s to mid-60s.
This gorgeous weather will make for a nice Bronco tonight. Temperatures in the middle 60s at kickoff, dropping to the upper 50s by the 4th quarter.
A cold front will usher in a big cooldown on Friday, with clouds and a few spotty showers. Highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s across northeastern Colorado. The low clouds and chilly weather will mostly hold east of the Continental Divide, with sunshine and milder conditions over western Colorado.
Skies will clear out for the weekend and temperatures will rebound to the 60s to near 70 on Saturday and climb to the low to mid-70s on Sunday. In the mountains, more mild and pleasant weather is expected with highs in the upper 50s to mid-60s.
