Denver, CO — Colorado's November weather is setting up a sharp contrast. Denver could enjoy sunshine and temperatures near 65 degrees Tuesday before colder air brings a chance of rain and snow toward the weekend.
The change could become especially noticeable Friday night, when temperatures approach freezing and precipitation chances return.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, the five day outlook begins with morning fog, followed by several unusually mild feeling afternoons for mid November.
However, the extended outlook introduces a possible shift toward colder, unsettled conditions by Friday and Saturday.
Morning Fog Clears Before Denver Warms Into the 60s Areas of dense fog were expected before 10 a.m. Sunday, November 15, with sunshine developing afterward.
Temperatures should reach approximately 59 degrees, while east southeast winds remain light at around 6 mph.
Drivers traveling Interstate 25, Interstate 70 and other Denver area highways should remain cautious wherever fog reduces visibility.
Monday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 64 degrees.
Tuesday becomes the warmest day of the period, with temperatures reaching approximately 65 degrees.
That warmth will not last indefinitely.
Temperatures Begin Falling Wednesday Wednesday, November 18, brings sunshine and a cooler afternoon high near 59 degrees.
Temperatures fall to approximately 33 degrees Wednesday night, putting parts of the Denver metropolitan area close to freezing.
Thursday remains mostly sunny, with highs around 56 degrees.
Although conditions remain dry through Thursday, nighttime temperatures near freezing could produce frost on exposed surfaces.
Residents should prepare for colder mornings, particularly in outlying neighborhoods and higher elevations.
Rain and Snow Chances Return Friday Into Saturday The extended National Weather Service outlook introduces a slight chance of showers Friday, November 20.
Friday's high reaches approximately 58 degrees before temperatures fall toward 32 degrees that night.
Forecasters indicate a chance of rain and snow showers Friday night, followed by another slight chance of mixed precipitation Saturday.
Saturday's high reaches only 51 degrees, marking a 14 degree decline from Tuesday's projected high.
The potential for mixed precipitation deserves attention, especially around bridges, elevated roads and colder neighborhoods.
If precipitation develops while pavement temperatures approach freezing, isolated slick spots could become possible.
However, snowfall accumulation, icy roads and significant travel disruptions are not confirmed in the supplied outlook.
