Colorado wakes up to a crisp 32° start across Denver, with pale moonlight fading over the Front Range. The air feels sharp, and sidewalks remain cold enough for refreeze in shaded spots.
Skies stay partly cloudy early, but changes build quickly. A 40% chance of rain develops later today as clouds thicken. Highs climb to 57°, mild for February, yet wet pavement along I-25 and I-70 could slow the afternoon drive. Leave extra distance if showers move in.
Rain becomes likely this evening, with a 70% chance before midnight. Lows dip to 35°. Elevated roads and bridges could turn slick toward early morning if temperatures slip near freezing. This is the time of year when brief thawing leads to patchy refreeze.
Sunshine returns Saturday with a high near 58°. Sunday surges warmer, reaching 66° under mostly sunny skies. Washington’s Birthday stays mild at 65°, offering a taste of early spring along the urban corridor.
President’s Day Week turns more active. Monday night trends mostly cloudy. By Tuesday, a chance of rain develops, mixing with snow into Tuesday night as highs reach 59° before falling to the low 30s. Wednesday carries a chance of snow with breezy conditions and a high near 55°. Light accumulations remain possible if temperatures cool faster than expected.
The broader 6–10 day outlook hints at above-normal temperatures returning later next week, signaling a gradual warm trend across the Plains and Rockies.
