DENVER — Warm and dry conditions are sticking around through Saturday, giving us a nice stretch of pleasant fall weather. Sunshine will be the main theme, and temperatures will stay a few degrees above normal for this time of year.
Friday looks especially warm, but we will see a bit more cloud cover into the afternoon. Saturday we’ll feel a bit of a cool-down thanks to a backdoor cold front sliding in. It won’t be a dramatic drop, but expect highs to be closer to seasonal averages.
By Sunday, we start to see some changes. A weak weather system moving in from the Desert Southwest will bring a bit more moisture and a slight uptick in cloud cover. This system isn’t expected to pack much punch, but it could be enough to spark a few scattered showers or storms, especially in the mountains during the afternoon and evening. Down on the plains and along the I-25 Corridor, things should stay mostly dry, with maybe a sprinkle or two here and there.
That same general pattern continues into Monday. The disturbance could still be hanging around, though it’ll likely be weakening as it moves through. If anything, the mountains could see a few more scattered showers or storms, but lower elevations probably won’t see much. It’ll be one of those "keep an umbrella in the car, just in case" kind of days — but don’t expect a washout.
Looking ahead to Tuesday and Wednesday, the atmosphere looks to dry out again behind Monday’s system. Most areas should return to dry and mild weather, though a stray shower can’t be completely ruled out in the high country. The plains and urban areas along I-25 will likely stay dry with plenty of sun.
Temperatures next week continue to trend above average, with highs generally ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s, especially along the I-25 Corridor. Overall, it’s shaping up to be a very comfortable stretch of early fall weather, with just a few minor chances for moisture mainly up in the mountains.
