Denver residents are waking up to a chilly start, with the National Weather Service in Denver reporting a 20 percent chance of light snow activity prior to 8 a.m. this morning, as well as the presence of patchy freezing fog. Temperatures are expected to rise a modest bit, reaching a high near 29 degrees, under mostly sunny skies that should sweep away the early drear.
In the coming night, the skies over Denver will transition to being partly cloudy, according to the National Weather Service, with a low hovering around a slightly warmer 18 degrees. However, the calm heralds a shift as another cold front is poised to snake throughout Northeast and North Central Colorado, with the forecast prompting a gentle admonishment for layers and coats.
Monday's serenity, featuring a high of 43 degrees, will be cut short. By Monday night, the National Weather Service indicates a snow probability of 70%, clouds pregnant with 1 to 3 inches of potential accumulation casting a curtain over the moonlight. The preceding tranquility of the day underlines the caprice of Colorado's weather system.
The snow is likely to persist into Tuesday morning, with a 70% chance of precipitation that could transform commutes into a promenade across a winter tableau. The light of day will bring a high nearly grazing 28 degrees. Citizens are encouraged to stay prepared for the cold snap, as temperatures Tuesday night are forecasted to plummet to the single digits, potentially reaching below zero degrees, especially for those residing in higher terrain.
Wednesday will offer respite with an upswing to 38 degrees under sunny skies. However, the weather outlook from the National Weather Service suggests that Denverites brace for blustery conditions come Thursday, particularly across far northern and eastern plains. Here, gusts could reach up to 40 mph, as temperatures stubbornly stay in the 30s. As we look ahead to the rest of the week, Saturday also hints at a slight chance of snow, with forecasts of mostly sunny weather and a high near 44 degrees.
