The National Weather Service in Denver has released a detailed forecast for the upcoming week as of December 10, warning residents of northeastern and north central Colorado of potential hazardous weather conditions. The outlook suggests snow showers will persist in the mountains today, with the region bracing for an additional 5 inches of snow which could lead to slick road conditions, according to National Weather Service.
As Denverites bundle up against a chilly 16°F morning, the frigid weather doesn't seem to be letting up. The mercury is set to rise to a high near 37°F later today, but gusty winds reaching up to 25 mph could make it feel much colder. The National Weather Service cautions that those venturing out may face wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph this afternoon, which can pose a risk to high-profile vehicles and could kick up debris on roads and highways.
Looking ahead, the weather is expected to clear up slightly but remain cold with temperatures dipping into the low 20s overnight. Wednesday promises to be mostly sunny with a more comfortable high near 52°F. However, mountain areas are to continue seeing bursts of snow, potentially affecting travel and outdoor activities in the higher elevations.
For the remainder of the week, Denver will experience a mix of clear and partly cloudy nights with varying evening lows, and daytime highs are forecasted to hover in the low 50s. The National Weather Service has indicated that light mountain snow is possible late Thursday into Friday. Once more, the weather will serve as a reminder of winter's grasp on the state as travelers and residents alike grapple with the elements that define this season's rhythm.
