Denver, CO – Colorado residents will see a mix of spring weather this week, with warm and breezy conditions giving way to snow and strong winds by Friday. Fire danger remains high through Thursday across the plains and foothills due to dry conditions and gusty winds, while a strong storm system could bring accumulating snow to the mountains this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, elevated fire weather conditions will persist through midweek, particularly in South Park and the eastern plains. Gusts up to 60 mph are expected in some areas, increasing the risk of wildfires. Residents should avoid open flames, secure loose outdoor items, and stay updated on fire restrictions.
Tuesday and Wednesday will remain warm and dry, with Denver reaching highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Winds will be strongest in the foothills and along I-70, where travelers should prepare for possible reduced visibility.
By late Thursday night into Friday, a storm system will move in, bringing colder temperatures and a chance of snow for the mountains and high elevations. Lower elevations, including Denver, may see rain mixed with snow. Breezy and blustery conditions will persist into the weekend.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday will see cooler temperatures, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Sunny skies are expected to return by the end of the weekend. Stay tuned for updates as the weather pattern evolves.
