Northwesterly flow settles in on Wednesday, bringing dry weather and near-normal temperatures.

It’ll be a quiet day statewide, with calmer winds outside the mountains.

High pressure builds on Thursday and into Friday morning, keeping Thanksgiving mild, dry, and mostly clear — perfect for travel and outdoor plans.

Late Friday through the weekend, a strong trough may bring a return to winter. While models still vary, they agree on much colder air and a good chance of snow across north central and northeast Colorado.

Highs on the plains could stay below freezing, with lows in the teens.

Moderate mountain snowfall looks likely, with light snow possible across the plains.

Travel impacts, especially in the high country, are increasingly possible.
