DENVER — Monday’s temperatures will rebound quickly across the Denver metro area after a slight cool down Sunday.
We can expect afternoon highs to climb into the upper 60s and low 70s, with a forecast high of 72 degrees. This is just shy of the March 2 record of 74 degrees set in 2022.
Dry air and low humidity around 15% will bring near-critical fire weather conditions, especially across the Palmer Divide.
We will have major changes ahead as a cold front arrives early Tuesday morning. This system will bring a sharp temperature drop of around 20 degrees cooler than Monday for many of the plains.
Rain is likely on Tuesday evening, while the northern and central mountains could have snowfall.
Isolated heavier showers are possible for most areas on the plains, with between a tenth and three-tenths of an inch of rain.
Meanwhile, the mountains could have between 2 and 7 inches of snowfall.
Periods of heavier snow could create slick, snow-packed roads and difficult travel on Tuesday.
Wednesday will be dry; another storm system is possible early Friday, with a chance of snowfall. However, snowfall amounts for lower elevations remain uncertain.
