DENVER — After a sizzling, 80+ degree October day, an early morning cold front will bring more seasonal temperatures to the Front Range and northeastern plains Tuesday.
It'll be a sunny start to the day with temperatures in the upper 50s around 9am and upper 60s at the lunch hour. Enjoy the 'cooler' weather as daytime highs will be in the lower 70s Tuesday afternoon across the Denver metro area.
The heat doesn't stay away long. Temperatures skyrocket yet again mid-week. We'll be in the lower 80s Wednesday and mid 70s Thursday along with gusty winds. Fire danger concerns will heighten with the warm temperatures, strong winds and low humidity values.
Finally, it looks like a winter-like storm will move into Colorado Friday and into the weekend. So far, it appears the mountains will see a bit of snow with rainfall for the Denver metro. As the storm gets closer, we'll have a better idea of the exact timing, track and precipitation totals.
It will usher in much cooler temperatures for the end of the week into this weekend. Look for highs in the 50s and 60s under mostly cloudy skies.
It's been awhile since Denver's seen rain. Friday will be the first chance of showers since September 22. The Front Range is parched, and we desperately need the water!
