Denver, Colorado – Cooler temps and breezy winds could interrupt your early October weekend in the Mile High City. A slight chance of Saturday showers paired with gusty winds may impact outdoor events, road travel along I-25, and early Halloween prep.
According to the National Weather Service, Denver will see a brief shift from sunny skies to a breezy, cloudier setup Saturday afternoon, with a 20% chance of showers by midday. While rain totals are expected to stay low, winds may gust up to 25 mph, especially near open stretches of I-70 and I-25, making travel and outdoor activities less comfortable. Evening temperatures will quickly fall into the upper 40s.
By Sunday, sunshine returns, but highs stay cooler in the upper 60s—more fall-like than the mid-80s earlier this week. Winds should ease, but light rain returns to the conversation by Tuesday, with a slight chance of showers lingering into midweek.
Those planning to hang decorations, hit fall festivals, or host outdoor events should prep for wind-prone conditions Saturday and bundle up for crisp nights that follow.
Stay alert for updated advisories and be ready for shifting temperatures as the first full weekend of October sets in.
