DENVER — A few light snow showers are possible tonight across the northern mountains, but the majority of Colorado will remain dry through Thursday. Chilly, snowy changes move into the state by the weekend!
Overnight lows will dip into the single-digits and teens across Eastern Colorado with sub-zero readings in the mountain valleys.
We'll wake up to a bit of cloud cover draped across the Front Range but it won't stick around long. Sunshine peeks out by the afternoon as highs soar into the upper 30s to low 40s.
By Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll have a brief warm-up as ridge of high pressure builds over the region. This will push temperatures into the mid 40s on Wednesday with mid 50s by Thursday. Get outside and enjoy the mild, dry weather!
Snow will develop in the high country on Friday and then across the plains by Friday night. We're also going to see a big blast of arctic air for the weekend. Temperatures will drop into the teens for highs on Saturday and then the cold will intensify on Sunday. Some models are predicting temperatures that could be 30 to 40 degrees below normal, leading to very chilly conditions across the region.
So far, it looks like this arctic blast will stick around into early next week. Don't forget to protect your people, pets and pipes during this prolonged deep freeze event!
