DENVER — A big cooldown will arrive in Colorado, just in time for Halloween.
The 9NEWS Weather Impact team is tracking the potential for a Weather Impact Day early next week.
If the models hold, a strong storm will approach from the west, bringing Colorado a big cooldown starting on Tuesday. Denver will see a 50+ degree swing between Sunday and next Wednesday.
Denver has a high likelihood of seeing its first freeze of the season as well as a good chance at its first snow of the season.
The Front Range and eastern plains, including the Denver metro area, are likely to see rain initially before a possible flip to snow for Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Snow amounts look minimal, with perhaps a bit of slush in Denver, but it might count as our first snow of the season.
Make sure to get those sprinklers blown out if you haven't already as Colorado could see a few days of sub-freezing temperatures for the first time this season next week.
The 9NEWS Weather Impact team will keep a close eye on that storm system, but in the meantime, enjoy the warmer weather while we've got it.
