The bitter cold air has loosened its grip on Colorado as milder air from the West Coast and the Pacific replaces the cold Canadian air mass that kept our state in the icebox earlier this week.
Most areas will be milder for the next few days, although the cold air will remain stuck in the high mountain valleys and in the South Platte River valley a little longer. Some areas of fog will likely develop along the South Platte north and east of Denver by early Friday.
Skies will be mostly clear tonight and Friday with just a little high cirrus floating in from the west. There will certainly be enough sunshine to help melt the snow. The high by Friday should be near 50 degrees in Denver, but only around 40 in the Greeley area.
The weekend will be mainly mild and dry with highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s for lower elevations and in the upper 20s to middle 30s in the mountains.
Snow will return to the mountains beginning Sunday afternoon and continue into Monday, but amounts are not expected to be heavy.
As for Denver’s next chance for snow, there is a possibility for flurries on Monday.
