Denver, Colorado – Denver and much of Colorado are gearing up for a spring storm system that will bring a mix of showers, thunderstorms, and even snow starting this weekend. Travelers and residents should prepare for potential disruptions to roads, especially in higher elevations. With snow expected to accumulate over the mountains by Monday night, be ready for chilly, wet conditions that could last through the week.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will kick off a series of weather events with slight chances of showers or thunderstorms, particularly in the mountains and foothills. However, as we move into early next week, a much more significant weather system will develop, leading to multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. As Monday night rolls in, snow could begin to accumulate at elevations above 8,000 feet, which could cause travel disruptions across mountain routes. Be aware that temperatures will remain cool, with Denver seeing a high of 62°F on Monday.
These conditions could lead to slick roadways, especially in areas above 8,000 feet, including mountain passes. As a result, travelers are urged to check road conditions before heading out. By Wednesday morning, some areas could experience accumulating snow, potentially affecting traffic and public services.
Looking ahead, Tuesday and Wednesday will bring more rain and snow, with Thursday clearing up to sunny skies. Temperatures will remain mild in the lower elevations, hovering around 50°F, while highs in the mountains will stay cooler. Expect a mix of rain, snow, and thunder through midweek.
