DENVER — Temperatures had a hard time warming up today, topping out in the upper 40s to low 50s this afternoon.
A light northwesterly flow has kept things a bit chilly, but calm weather will continue through tonight with light winds and clear skies.
Saturday will bring a noticeable warm-up as high pressure builds over the region. Afternoon highs should reach the low 60s under mostly sunny skies, and winds will stay light, making for a great fall day to get outside. The warming trend will continue into Sunday, when temperatures are expected to soar well above normal. In fact, near-record warmth is possible across the metro area, with highs climbing into the upper 70s. A few areas may see some dry, breezy conditions that could lead to minor fire weather concerns. Also, time change this weekend, so don't forget to "Fall Back" with your clock for Sunday.
After the weekend heat, Monday will bring a quick cool down as a weak weather system passes through the state. Even with slightly cooler air, temperatures will still be above average for early November. Skies should stay mostly clear, and winds will remain light to moderate, keeping conditions pleasant overall.
Through the middle of next week, a pattern of warm, dry, and breezy weather is expected to hold steady. Sunshine will dominate the forecast, and while the warmth may feel more like early fall than November, it will come with continued dryness across the plains.
Looking toward the end of next week, there’s a small chance for some precipitation—mainly in the northern mountains—late Thursday or Friday. However, most areas, including Denver, are likely to stay dry. For now, it seems that quiet and mild weather will remain the theme as we move into the first part of November.
