DENVER — From the mid-70s today to the mid-30s Friday! Bundle up as winter weather makes a comeback to the Denver metro by morning!
A cold front barreled across the Front Range this afternoon, kicking up the winds and dramatically dropping temperatures. Look for a bit of rain this evening along the Interstate 25 corridor, with snow picking up later tonight.
The snow sticks around all day Friday, along with the chilly temperatures. Daytime highs will be in the mid 30s at best. So far, it looks like about 2 to 4 inches of snow across the Denver metro area. We'll see slightly higher amounts between 3 and 7 inches of snow closer to the foothills, southern suburbs and Palmer Divide. Roads might be slick in a few spots, but it shouldn’t be a huge mess unless you’re up higher in elevation.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of Colorado's High Country with overall about 6 to 12 inches of new snow. The Front Range foothills could see 4 to 10 inches of fresh powder by midday Saturday. The Eastern San Juans and Sangre de Cristos are under a Winter Storm Warning with 8 to 16 inches possible across the south-central mountain ranges.
Who's ready for some good news? Spring-like weather returns for Easter Sunday with highs in the low 60s in Denver. It looks like the weather will cooperate for an outdoor brunch or Easter egg hunt with much drier conditions on tap Sunday.
It'll be a quiet start to the work week as temperatures bounce back to the upper 60 to lower 70s. We'll keep an eye out for a few possible showers and thunderstorms next Wednesday and Thursday.
