Denver residents can expect a mixed bag of weather conditions as the holiday season approaches. The National Weather Service in Denver reports that while today will be mostly sunny with temperatures hitting a high near 60 degrees, a slight shift will come in the evening as winds move north and could gust up to 15 mph. Tonight's temperature is expected to drop to a low around 26 degrees with calm conditions setting in later.

Looking ahead, the forecast suggests that sunny skies will persist into the weekend. Friday shares today's outlook with a high around 60, while Saturday may see temperatures climbing slightly higher to 62 degrees. However, there's a slight hiccup in the weather pattern come Sunday, with partly sunny conditions and a high near 61, a change that will usher in colder temps as the week kicks off, according to the National Weather Service.

The hazardous weather outlook detailed by the NWS includes gusty winds across the Front Range which are expected to weaken this morning. Into the next week, the region is looking at light snow possibilities in the mountains late Sunday into Monday, and again on Christmas Day, although no significant weather threats seem to be looming for the area otherwise.

The NWS announcement also makes a note that spotter activation will not be required, but they are welcoming any reports of strong wind gusts. Spotter activation will not be needed, but any reports of strong wind gusts will be appreciated, remarked the outlook. Denver locals enjoying the outdoor seasonal activities should still keep an eye on the skies, as Colorado weather can be unpredictable during transitional seasons.
