Colorado wakes up to crisp air and pale winter light, with thin clouds drifting over the Front Range. In the distance, light snow dusts higher elevations, while city streets stay mostly dry for now.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, a weak disturbance brings light snow mainly to the mountains and the Palmer Divide today. A dusting to under one inch is possible at higher elevations, while Denver and nearby suburbs remain largely snow-free. Even so, brief slick spots could develop early where moisture lingers near freezing.
Across the Denver metro, temperatures climb into the mid-50s by afternoon under sunny skies. Winds stay light, helping roads dry quickly. Drivers heading west toward the foothills should stay alert for changing conditions, especially on higher passes where snow showers may briefly reduce visibility.
By Thursday, a sharp warm-up begins. Sunshine dominates, and highs surge into the mid-60s across Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood. Snowmelt accelerates, which raises a late-day concern for refreezing after sunset as temperatures fall back into the 30s. Watch bridges and untreated side streets early the next morning.
Friday carries the warmth forward, with highs pushing the mid-60s again. Weekend weather stays quiet and mild, with mostly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday and highs holding in the mid-60s. Outdoor plans look favorable, though cool nights persist.
Looking ahead, early next week remains dry with near-normal temperatures before a broader warming trend develops in the 6–10 day window. Signs point toward above-normal readings by late next week. Are you noticing icy patches or rapid snowmelt where you live?
