Spring officially begins at 9:06 p.m. tonight and the weather will certainly feel like it for the next few days.

Skies will remain mostly clear with lows in the 30s overnight and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s for Wednesday. Areas that still have snow cover will see a lot of melting with afternoon highs in the 60s again Thursday through Saturday . Highs will be in the 40s and low 50s in the foothills and mountains.

Our next storm will bring a better chance of snow to the mountains this weekend. Highs will be in the 60s on the plains Saturday, but dropping into the 50s on Sunday. There will be rain and snow showers in the mountains on Saturday.

As the storm develops on Sunday, heavy snow will be hitting the high country while rain begins on the plains. Sunday night and Monday, expect colder weather with moderate to heavy snow in Denver early Monday.

This next storm will not be as potent as the one last week, but will serve as a reminder that late March and early Spring are still snowy times in the Denver area!
