DENVER — Light snow and rain will continue this evening in the mountains and foothills mainly south of I-70, including the Palmer Divide. Accumulations look pretty minimal, but a few of the higher spots could pick up a dusting on the grass. Roads over the higher passes may turn slick tonight into early Monday, but most higher elevations will just see light, spotty snowfall.
Across the plains, expect light rain to linger through early Monday morning, especially the farther east you go. Denver and areas along the I-25 corridor may not see much at all, while the eastern plains could pick up a few tenths of an inch of moisture. Any showers that do reach the metro area should be brief and light.
Monday afternoon into Tuesday will turn windier and colder. Gusty winds will be most noticeable over the ridges and foothill-adjacent areas, with the northern mountains seeing a few light snow showers Monday night into Tuesday morning. Snow amounts look minor, but the cooler air will settle in behind a cold front, bringing Tuesday highs down into the 40s on the plains and 20s–30s in the mountains.
Temperatures will rebound a bit toward Thanksgiving as a ridge builds in, bringing drier weather for most areas. Highs Thursday and Friday should reach the mid to upper 50s on the plains, with only occasional light mountain snow showers in the northern ranges. Overall, the holiday itself looks fairly quiet.
By next weekend, winter starts to make a more serious appearance. A colder system is expected to move in, bringing a chance of snow to both the mountains and the plains. Timing and storm track are still a bit uncertain, but temperatures are trending colder, and highs may drop into the 20s and 30s. More details will become clearer as the weekend gets closer.
