Colorado – A light mix of rain and snow brushes parts of Denver early, leaving damp pavement and a few slick spots before temperatures climb. Drivers along I-25 and I-70 may notice patchy moisture and reduced traction in shaded areas through the morning.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of rain and snow lingers early, with clouds gradually breaking and highs reaching the mid-50s later today . Conditions improve quickly as drier air moves in and sunshine returns.
Across the Denver metro, including Aurora and Lakewood, early slick spots may develop briefly on bridges and overpasses. Use caution during the morning drive, especially where temperatures hover near freezing. As skies clear, roads dry out and travel improves by midday.
The bigger story is the rapid warm-up. Saturday surges into the low 80s with partly sunny skies, followed by another warm day Sunday near the low 80s. It’s a dramatic shift from early-day chill to spring warmth in just 24 hours.
By Monday, warmth continues with highs near 80 degrees, but clouds begin to increase. A slight chance of showers returns into Monday night, signaling a more unsettled stretch.
Looking ahead, Tuesday brings cooler air with highs dropping into the low 70s and more scattered showers possible. Midweek stays active with additional chances for rain.
