Denver, CO – A fresh round of spring weather is set to sweep through Colorado beginning early Thursday, bringing snow, rain, and travel delays across the Denver metro and the I-70 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, snow will begin before 9 a.m. Thursday and could mix with rain by the afternoon. Accumulation is expected to remain light in Denver, but higher totals are forecast for the Front Range Mountains and Palmer Divide. Wind gusts may reach 25 mph, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of slick roads.
The most impactful period will stretch from Thursday through Saturday morning. Rain will return Friday afternoon and continue overnight, followed by another chance of snow Saturday morning. Commuters along I-70 and foothill routes should prepare for slower travel, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours.
By Sunday, skies clear up and temperatures rise, signaling a temporary return to milder spring conditions.
Here’s your extended 5-day Denver forecast:
- Thursday: Snow early, then rain possible. High near 40°F.
- Friday: Snow in the morning, turning to rain. High near 45°F.
- Saturday: Chance of snow before noon, then clearing. High near 41°F.
- Sunday: Sunny skies, warming to 54°F.
- Monday: Sunny and spring-like, with a high near 62°F.
Drivers are advised to monitor road conditions, especially if traveling west into higher elevations. Light accumulation is expected at lower elevations, but wind-driven snow may impact visibility. Prepare for changing conditions and allow extra travel time through Saturday.
