The National Weather Service in Denver has predicted a shift from clouds to sunshine for today, with temperatures reaching a relatively mild high of 45 degrees, following a chilly morning with some areas cloaked in a few clouds. Winds are expected to remain light, moving from east at 3 to 8 mph. As Denverites wrap up in layers to brave the early morning chill, they can look forward to milder weather as the day unfolds.
