DENVER — It will be a cool and wet start to April as a storm rolls through the region. You'll find dry roads for the morning commute, but rain will develop for Wednesday night's commute and temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than normal!
Snow is falling in the mountains and will continue through early evening. A winter weather advisory is in effect for much of the high country and will continue through 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Most mountain areas above 9,000 feet will see 5 to 10 inches of new snow, with up to a foot on the high mountain passes. Snow along with wind gusts up to 50 mph will make travel a bit tricky throughout the day.
Scattered showers will move onto the Eastern Plains Wednesday evening as the storm slowly moves out of the state. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 50s and that's just a few degrees cooler than normal for early April.
Thursday will bring a brief break from wet weather, as warmer and drier air move back into Colorado. We're in for plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 70s in Denver before another storm system moves in Thursday night.
Temperatures will drop back into the mid 50s Friday under partly cloudy skies. This incoming system looks to stay a bit further to the north, mainly impacting the northern mountains. While Denver could be spared from any wet weather for the Rockies home opener, it does look like we can count on blustery winds and cooler temperatures out at Coors Field.
Warmer, drier weather moves in for Easter weekend.
