Denver is starting Friday with clear skies and temperatures around 45 degrees, but another mild afternoon is on the way. Highs should reach near 64 degrees under partly sunny skies, with light south-southwest winds around 5 mph. High clouds will increase Friday afternoon.
Fog Arrives After Midnight
Friday night turns mostly cloudy, with a low near 37 degrees and patchy fog developing after midnight. The fog could spread into the Denver area and along the I-25 corridor early Saturday, making for a slower morning start in some spots. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area, according to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder.
Saturday Brings Fog And A Small Rain Chance
Saturday will begin with patchy fog before 10 a.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of light rain. The high should reach about 56 degrees, with a 20% chance of precipitation across the plains. Higher elevations could see rain and snow showers, including 1 to 3 inches of snow above 10,000 feet.
The wetter weekend outlook is a notable shift from Hoodline's previous forecast, which called for a mostly dry Saturday and Sunday. For Denver residents, the change mainly means a foggy commute and the possibility of a few light showers rather than a major washout.
Sunshine Returns Before Another Warmup
Sunday looks much friendlier, with sunny skies and a high near 56 degrees after an overnight low around 33. Monday brings another sunny day near 62 degrees, while Tuesday stays mostly sunny with a high around 63. Winds remain generally light through the early part of the week.
Midweek Shower Chances Return
The pattern becomes more active Wednesday, with a slight chance of rain showers and a high near 56 degrees. The first wave favors mountain snow, while Thursday is forecast to be sunny.
