Denver's Tuesday morning commute is starting in a blanket of fog, with temperatures near 39 degrees across the metro area. Dense fog is possible, with visibility potentially dropping to a quarter-mile or less in Denver, Boulder, the western suburbs and nearby parts of the Front Range. Drivers should slow down, turn on their headlights and leave extra space.

Fog Fades, Sunshine Takes Over

The fog should clear before 11 a.m., giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 66 degrees. The NWS aviation forecast calls for light, variable winds in the morning, then easterly winds increasing to 10–12 knots at KDEN and KAPA during the afternoon, with no rain expected Tuesday.

Warm, Dry Weather Runs Through Saturday

Wednesday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 70 degrees. Thursday should reach 68, Friday 69, while overnight lows stay mainly in the upper 30s and 40s. The setup is a notable turnaround from Monday's damp start, which was covered in an earlier Hoodline forecast.

Unsettled Weather Possible Late Weekend

The forecast could turn more unsettled late in the weekend. The latest NWS forecast keeps the weekend shift in view while the rest of the week remains largely dry.
