Denver is waking Saturday to clear skies and a chilly start in the mid-30s, but the cold is on a short leash. Sunshine will send temperatures climbing quickly, with a high near 77 and light winds making this an easy outdoor day across the city.
A Chilly Start Gives Way To Sunny 70s
Temperatures should move through the 40s and 50s during the morning, reaching about 60 by late morning and the mid-70s during the afternoon. A freeze warning remains in effect until 9 a.m. for parts of the northeastern plains, where colder pockets could still see frost; central Denver is expected to warm quickly after sunrise.
Saturday’s update extends the warmup more clearly than Friday’s outlook, which had focused on the first rebound from the freeze. The latest Hoodline forecast had already flagged the weekend turn, while the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder now calls for mostly sunny skies and highs in the 70s through the middle of next week.
Warm, Dry Weather Hangs On
Sunday should reach about 75 under mostly sunny skies, followed by a Monday high near 73, Tuesday near 77 and Wednesday near 79. Overnight lows settle mostly in the 40s and low 50s.
Small Rain Chance Arrives Late Next Week
Thursday remains mild near 78 but turns mostly cloudy, with a slight chance of showers arriving Thursday night. Friday is forecast in the lower 60s with a better, though still modest, chance of rain showers; for now, the forecast keeps the meaningful wet weather mostly to the end of the week.
