DENVER — The Arctic air mass that has gripped Colorado and much of the northern United States will ease up over the next few days. Lows dropped to 41 degrees below zero in northern Jackson County Tuesday morning, but the temperatures will not be as cold Wednesday.
The Arctic air will exit Colorado as the coldest air slips off to the east of Colorado. Some of the really cold air will remain trapped in the high mountain valleys - such as the Fraser area, Gunnison, Steamboat Springs and Alamosa - so expect a few more really cold mornings in those areas.
Wednesday will be in the upper 30s across the Denver metro area, with 40s by Thursday. Friday will see highs in the upper 40s to low 50s!
The snowy weather pattern will also come to an end for the mountains. Dry weather is expected in the high country with just a few snow showers arriving Saturday.
Denver and the eastern plains will stay dry and fairly mild through the weekend, a chance of some light snow will return early next week.
