DENVER — FORECAST BY: 9NEWS Weather Impact Team Meteorologist Kathy Sabine
Clear and cold weather to start the day with chilly morning temps in the teens! The officials low temperature at DIA was 15 degrees, making it our coldest morning since late March!
In the foothills, gusty winds continued for much of the day, with gusts up to 70 mph possible in the higher foothills along the peak-to-peak highway, and perhaps a few gusty winds moving down into the Boulder and Golden areas this evening. Otherwise, winds should continue to gradually relax through the night today.
Highs rebounded warming back into the lower 50s with mostly sunny skies and lighter winds out of the south.
Temperatures will continue to climb the next few days as high pressure rebuilds over the region ahead of the next Pacific storm due in this weekend. Warmer weather and drier weather is forecast Thursday with a high approaching 60°, and we'll reach the low 60s on Friday. We might approach 70° on Saturday under down sloping (warming) winds before changes move in for the back half of the weekend and into next week.
Mountain snow starts back up on Sunday, and it'll likely peak on Monday. In Denver, a storm system could bring us some lower-impact rain or snow showers into the metro area, likely later on Monday.
Next week looks generally cold and perhaps snowy, with a few snow chances likely through the majority of next week. It looks like Wednesday in particular could feature some snow, and it looks downright chilly for Wednesday and Thanksgiving with highs in the low 40s likely on Thanksgiving in Denver.
We'll keep you posted with the latest on that higher impact forecast with the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, but in the meantime, enjoy our warmer weather while it lasts!
