DENVER — Tonight will stay dry and mild across the area as light northerly winds ease and skies remain mostly clear. Temperatures will stay above normal for early November, and this quiet weather pattern looks to continue into the start of this week. No rain or snow is expected tonight or Monday, and the air will stay quite dry.
Monday and Tuesday will both be unseasonably warm, with highs running about 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year. The wind pattern will shift a bit, with a northwesterly flow aloft bringing some breezy conditions, especially over the plains. Veterans day will be nice and mild with sunny skies.
By midweek, the warm and dry pattern will hold steady under an upper ridge of high pressure. Wednesday and Thursday should continue to see sunshine and above-normal temperatures, and there’s even a small chance a few spots could flirt with record highs. Winds will increase slightly, especially on Thursday, as a stronger flow develops aloft.
Changes begin to show up toward the end of the week as a weather system approaches from the west. An upper-level trough is expected to move into western Colorado by Friday and sweep across the region on Saturday. This will bring increasing clouds and a chance of rain or snow showers, mainly over the mountains but possibly spreading into lower elevations as well.
By Sunday, cooler air will move in behind the system, along with breezy north-northwest winds. While details are still a bit uncertain, the general trend looks like a brief return to more unsettled and seasonable weather before conditions dry out again early next week. Overall, enjoy the warmth while it lasts, it won’t feel like November for most of the week.
