The residents of Denver, Colorado, can enjoy one more bout of unseasonably warmth before pulling their coats a bit closer. According to the National Weather Service, the city is currently sitting under mostly cloudy skies, a comfortable 51°F on this mid-November morning, winds steady from the southwest at 10 mph, and humidity registering at a dry 32%.
All hands to the pump indicate clear skies aren't overly eager to wave goodbye; today’s forecast hints at partly sunny conditions with highs flirting with the mid-70s while the winds switch from a mild southwesterly breath to a hint of northeast in the afternoon, Cooling down as night falls, the mercury is set to drop to a low around 41°F under partly cloudy skies, light and variable wind expected generally.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Sunday promises unadulterated sunshine with a high near the 70-degree mark, calm conditions in the morning before a soft easterly wind nudges in at around 6 mph in the afternoon, the evening may hint at change, though, with a 30 percent chance of showers edging onto the stage after 11 pm under, you guessed it, partly cloudy conditions that bring the temperature down to a low around 40°F, while the winds opt for a southern twang at around 5 mph before easing off.
The workweek ushers in a familiar blend of sun and cloud; Monday stays mostly sunny despite temperatures taking a slight turn toward the cooler side, a high near 62°F anchoring the day while a northwest wind puffs up its chest to 5 to 7 mph, gusts could get a little spicy, hitting as high as 17 mph if they're feeling plucky, and the cooling trend isn’t a one-day wonder; Tuesday and Wednesday proffer highs in the upper 50s, a harbinger of potential rain showers that could sprinkle proceedings from Wednesday midday onwards, culminating in what, at this stage, looks to be a slight chance of rain and snow showers come next Friday.
In terms of fair warnings, the NWS hazardous weather outlook doesn't ignite much concern. For now, there's only talk of dry conditions holding strong until the weekend's end, with the next weather system dropping by to deliver showers Sunday night into next Monday that could result in some light travel disturbances in the mountains.
