Denver's Saturday is starting in the murk, with fog and mist across the forecast area and temperatures near 37 degrees around dawn. The gray beginning will give way to a mild but mostly cloudy day, with a small chance of rain showers late in the afternoon.
Fog Gives Way To A Gray, Mild Saturday
Areas of fog are expected to linger into late morning before temperatures climb toward a high near 53 degrees. The afternoon may turn slightly wetter, with a 20% chance of rain showers and light north-to-northeast winds; temperatures could slip back toward 50 degrees later in the day.
Some pockets of fog could be thicker than others along the Denver metro and nearby plains, making for a slower morning drive. The National Weather Service has no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the area, but drivers should still use headlights and leave extra room where visibility drops.
Sun Returns Sunday As Warmth Builds
Saturday night brings another slight chance of showers before fog redevelops, with lows around 34 degrees. Sunday morning may start foggy again, but skies should turn sunny after 10 a.m., sending temperatures near 59 degrees.
The mild stretch continues Monday and Tuesday, with sunny or mostly sunny skies and highs near 63 and 62 degrees, respectively. That is a notable change from the unsettled weekend setup described in Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had leaned warmer and drier before the latest shift toward fog and showers.
Rain And Snow Chances Return Friday
Wednesday and Thursday remain mostly sunny but cooler, with highs near 58 and 55 degrees. The next stronger turn arrives Friday, when rain and snow showers are likely and the chance of precipitation rises to 55%, with a high near 53 degrees.
Mountain travelers could also see light snow showers Saturday afternoon and evening, especially at the highest elevations, while Denver's plains remain focused on fog, clouds and a passing shower chance. For city plans, the practical forecast is simple: keep a jacket handy this weekend, then enjoy the sunshine before the next storm signal appears late in the week.
