The Mile-High City kicks off the week with a splash of sunshine and a gust of wind, as reported by the National Weather Service in Denver, Colorado. Temperatures are forecasted to rise to a comfy 62 degrees today, despite the cool start at 33°F earlier this morning. But locals won't just be enjoying the sun; they should brace for some breezes too, with west winds projected at 8 to 18 mph and gusts potentially hitting 28 mph.
As the sun sets, the weather maintains its composure with a mostly clear night and a low hovering around 33 degrees. The west southwest wind won't let up, maintaining speeds of 11 to 14 mph, and gusts that could reach 21 mph, which means if you're out and about, keep a hat on tight. This pattern of sunny days and clear nights continues into Tuesday, with similarly breezy conditions and a high near 60 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday's forecast promises more of the same sunny skies, but the winds will take a slight shift, heading south-southwest at 5 to 8 mph before turning north in the afternoon. Come evening, Denverites may see a few clouds roll in as temperatures dip to a low around 29 degrees.
Looking towards the end of the week, Thursday is turning out a bit more unpredictable. The NWS gives us a 50 percent chance of snow, with a mostly cloudy sky and the daytime high peaking at a cooler 44 degrees. Snow chances linger into the night, with lows expected to plummet to around 21. Preparing for the weekend, Friday's weather seems to be recuperating with a mostly sunny day and high near 39, followed by a partly cloudy evening with temperatures dropping to around 20 degrees.
The forecast for Denver as we roll into next Saturday and beyond? Looks like mostly sunny days with highs gently climbing from 47 to a pleasant 55 degrees by Sunday. So while nightfall may bring a chill, the broad daylight hours are shaping up to be rather agreeable for those looking to enjoy the outdoors. Just remember that in Colorado's capricious climes, one should always be prepared for a sudden switch, especially with possible snowfall on the horizon.
