Denver, Colorado – A drier and more stable winter pattern is expected across Colorado and Kansas during the January 10–14 period, keeping rain and snow chances below normal and limiting the potential for travel disruptions across the central Plains.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, much of Colorado and Kansas is favored to see below-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend near to slightly above seasonal averages. That combination supports fewer storm systems and long stretches of dry weather.
Across eastern Colorado, including Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and the I-25 corridor, precipitation chances remain low, with only isolated light snow or flurries possible during overnight periods. Accumulation appears unlikely for lower elevations, while mountain snow chances remain limited and confined to brief, weak disturbances. In Kansas, including Wichita, Salina, Topeka, and Kansas City, conditions favor dry weather with mild daytime temperatures and minimal risk for wintry precipitation.
Road conditions are expected to remain favorable through most of the period. While cold mornings could still lead to patchy frost or localized slick spots on bridges, widespread travel impacts are not anticipated.
Overall, the pattern supports below-average precipitation and low-impact winter weather across the region. While short-term shifts remain possible, no widespread rain or snow alerts are currently expected as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches.
