Sweater weather is finally here! It has been an incredibly warm October, but a strong winter-like storm is bringing those temperatures down quite a bit this weekend!
Colorado is parched, so this incoming storm is a welcome sight to see. The southwestern mountains will see the heaviest snow, with some light rain sticking around the city into Saturday morning, and we could see a light rain/snow mix around the Palmer Divide early Saturday.
Rain tapers off in town by late morning, but highs will stay in the 50s.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the San Juans from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning for 1 to 2 feet of snow above 8,500 feet in elevation. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the E. Sawatch mountains and Mosquito Range for 4 to 8 inches of new snow. The Front Range mountains are not under any advisories but may see up to 6 inches of snow. Travel along the higher mountain passes could be icy and slick Saturday morning.
This storm moves out of the metro area on Sunday. We'll see partly cloudy skies and a very slight chance of a few isolated showers. Highs will jump into the mid- to upper- 60s Sunday afternoon.
Warmer and drier weather return early next week. Look for temperatures to soar into the 70s along with plenty of sunshine all week long.
