Denver is forecast to start Tuesday with light rain and temperatures near 43 degrees. Showers should taper off by midmorning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high around 56, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers fade; winds pick up
Showers could linger until roughly 6 to 9 a.m. before clouds break apart and Denver stays dry through the afternoon. Winds are expected to shift from north to northeast. Gusts of 30 to 35 mph are possible across the eastern plains, the NWS Boulder forecast discussion says.
Those forecast gusts are below the NWS Boulder’s high wind warning criteria for lower elevations away from the foothills, which include gusts to 58 mph for any duration. That threshold offers a comparison, not a determination about whether any advisory or warning is in effect for Tuesday. The criteria are described by the NWS Boulder.
A mostly dry stretch follows
Tuesday night is forecast to have increasing clouds, with a low near 34. Wednesday should have increasing clouds with a high around 58 in Denver; light rain remains possible on the Palmer Divide, while mountain areas could see snow. The city forecast then turns mostly dry: sunny Thursday near 60, mostly sunny Friday near 59 and Saturday near 57, followed by highs in the low to mid 60s Sunday and Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
For broader seasonal context, NWS Boulder lists Denver’s November mean temperature as 39.4°F, based on 1991–2020 data. That is a monthly climate benchmark, not a forecast or a day-by-day comparison with this week’s highs and lows. The NWS climate record provides the figure.
