As the overcast sky looms over Denver this morning, the National Weather Service reports a chilly 51°F with calm winds, giving residents of the Mile High City a damp start to their day. With a humidity clinging at 91% and visibility standing at a clear 10 miles, the city is waking up to an atmosphere thick with anticipation for the weather changes ahead, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast, last updated at 6:58 am MDT, promises a sunny shift with today's high nearing 70 degrees, while tonight is expected to remain clear as temperatures dip to around 45 degrees. Light and variable winds will make a subtle shift to the southwest at about 5 mph after midnight. The National Weather Service outlines a pleasant progression in the near future, anticipating sunny and increasingly warmer days with highs moving from 79 on Thursday to a comfortable 83 by Friday, not to mention clear nights with the low in the mid-50s. The weekend maintains this trend with highs hovering around 80 degrees into early next week.
However, not every cloud holds the promise of gentle weather.
