Denver, CO – Record-challenging warmth continues across Colorado through Friday, with high temperatures expected to push into the upper 70s and low 80s along the plains.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, highs near 80°F are likely across the Denver metro, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs from Wednesday through Friday. Conditions remain dry and mostly sunny during this stretch, offering an unseasonably warm lead-up to the weekend.
A shift arrives Friday evening, with scattered showers developing overnight. Rain chances rise sharply Saturday into Sunday as a colder system moves into the region. The mountains are expected to see accumulating snow starting late Saturday night, with several inches possible through early Sunday. Areas such as Breckenridge and Estes Park may face wintry conditions, while the plains, including Denver and Greeley, could experience a rain-snow mix depending on storm trajectory and temperature drops.
Residents should monitor road conditions and prepare for potential winter travel impacts in the mountains. Stay weather-aware as the system evolves. Rain and snow chances remain elevated through Monday, especially in northern and central Colorado counties.
