Colorado – Crisp morning air lingers across the Front Range, but sunlight quickly changes the feel. Sidewalks warm, coats unzip, and the sense of winter eases as the day unfolds. February is turning noticeably mild, and the shift is already underway.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, no hazardous weather is expected today or tonight across northeast and north-central Colorado. Dry air and sunshine dominate, allowing temperatures to climb into the mid-60s this afternoon in Denver. Winds stay light, with only occasional afternoon gusts.
Across the metro area, conditions favor travel and outdoor plans. Roads remain dry along I-25, I-70, and surface streets. Visibility stays excellent, and aviation conditions are quiet at Denver International Airport. Boulder, Lakewood, Aurora, and surrounding communities see similar warmth under mostly clear skies.
The warming trend strengthens heading into Friday and Saturday. Highs rise into the mid to upper 60s, pushing well above seasonal averages. Nights remain cool, dropping into the mid-30s, but afternoon sunshine quickly rebounds temperatures. Snowpack in shaded areas melts during the day, raising the risk of refreeze after sunset on untreated sidewalks.
Sunday stays mild with highs in the mid-60s again. For now, winter storms remain absent from the Front Range. The next chance for unsettled weather holds off until early next week, when clouds increase and temperatures trend cooler.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of Colorado. While the Great Lakes and East track active winter systems, the central Rockies remain locked in a dry, warmer pattern. Signs of spring are building, even if winter isn’t finished yet.
Enjoy the warmth, but stay mindful of slick spots early and late. Notice snowmelt refreezing near your neighborhood? Share what you’re seeing as conditions change.
