Denver, CO – Cold air clings to the Front Range this Sunday morning as frost sparkles on lawns and rooftops across metro Denver. The chill won’t last long — but it sets up a sharp weather turn. The National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory through 8 a.m. Sunday, followed by a Fire Weather Watch starting late Monday morning as gusty winds and low humidity return.
After a frosty sunrise, sunshine will push temperatures into the upper 70s today with calm, dry air. Residents should cover or bring in sensitive plants before dawn, then prepare for breezy, warmer air by Monday. Winds are expected to increase from the west at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. The combination of dry fuels and single-digit humidity could lead to rapid fire spread, especially in foothill communities.
According to forecasters, highs will drop into the mid-60s Monday before rebounding to near 70°F by Tuesday. Clear skies and light winds return midweek, offering a brief calm between fronts.
By Thursday, a weak system could bring a few clouds and slightly cooler air, though no moisture is expected. For now, Colorado’s fall weather shows its familiar split personality — freezing one day, fiery the next — a reminder of how quickly conditions can turn along the Front Range.
