Denver residents can look forward to sunny skies and a pleasant high of 55 degrees today, according to the National Weather Service in Denver. Light and variable winds are expected to shift north-northeast at 5 to 10 mph come morning, with possible gusts reaching up to 15 mph. As we head into the evening, the skies will remain mostly clear as temperatures take a gentle dip to a low of around 29 degrees, with winds calming down.
Looking ahead to Friday, Denver is set for an even warmer day with a high near 63 degrees. South southwest winds will be mild at 3 to 8 mph, though they could occasionally gust as high as 16 mph. However, the weather takes a turn later at night with a 30 percent chance of rain and snow after 11 pm, marking the start of a period with potential snowfall across the city. The low will hover around 33 degrees with a mix of calm and gusty winds.
The weekend forecast suggests a drop in temperatures but remains promising for outdoor activities during the day. According to the National Weather Service, Saturday will be mostly sunny, peaking at 50 degrees. A transition to east winds in the afternoon could bring gusts rushing as high as 23 mph. The chance of snow returns Saturday night with a 30 percent possibility and continues into Sunday, though with only a 20 percent chance of snow showers against a mostly sunny backdrop with a high near 39 degrees.
In the coming days, Denver's weather pattern will indeed feel the winter's touch, as chances for snow persist through Wednesday. The National Weather Service's hazardous weather outlook cautions of potentially tricky conditions, with wind gusts up to 50 mph expected above timberline tonight and light snow showers primarily near the Wyoming border. There will be a round of snow in the mountains Friday night, and then a chance of light snow through the weekend, the organization warns. Saturday and Sunday might see a colder turn across the plains, accompanied by likely morning snowfall to start the day.
