DENVER — Bring on the much-needed rain and snow! It'll be a cold, gloomy and soggy end to the month of April across Colorado.
Look for light rain showers off and on overnight as lows dip into the mid 30s.
It'll be a cool and cloudy start to your Thursday with a little light drizzle across the Denver metro. Grab your umbrella and raincoat if you're heading out of the house! A stronger system along with a cold front move in Thursday, ushering snow to the mountains and more widespread rain to the plains. Thursday will be the coldest and rainiest day of the week with highs in the mid to upper 40s. Heavy rain is likely Thursday afternoon and evening.
So far, it looks like the city could pick up about a half inch of rain Thursday with showers lingering overnight into Friday morning. Some areas close to the Palmer Divide and into Douglas and Elbert counties will likely see this rain switch over to snow and we could see that snow pile up on the roof tops and grassy areas, with mainly just wet roads.
As this system clears out, sunshine and warmer weather move back in for the first weekend of May. Look for highs in the upper 60s Saturday with mid 70s on tap Sunday.
Daytime highs will stay in the low 70s early next week. We'll continue to track a chance of scattered afternoon storms Monday and Tuesday with cooler temperatures and more widespread rain showers next Wednesday.
