Colorado — The sky looks calm now, but shifting winds and building clouds hint at a changing pattern.
Denver and Boulder warm quickly into the low 70s today, with sun breaking through passing clouds.
That warmth comes with a catch.
By mid to late afternoon, scattered showers and a possible thunderstorm develop along the Front Range. Winds may gust near 20 mph, briefly kicking up dust and reducing visibility.
Stay weather-aware later today.
If you’re driving along I-25 or US-36, expect sudden changes. A quick downpour or gusty burst could slow traffic.
The unsettled pattern continues into Saturday.
Another round of scattered showers develops during the afternoon, with highs in the mid-70s. Storm coverage remains spotty, but timing will matter for outdoor plans.
Sunday offers a break.
Sunshine returns with highs near the mid-70s, creating a brief window for spring activities. Conditions feel calmer, but it won’t last long.
A stronger shift arrives early next week.
By Monday, breezy conditions return with highs in the 70s before another system pushes in. Showers redevelop, and cooler air follows.
Here’s the bigger headline.
Meteorologists are now tracking increasing moisture and a colder push that could bring mountain snow by Tuesday or Wednesday, especially at higher elevations.
Plan ahead now.
If you’re traveling into the Rockies, prepare for changing conditions and possible slick roads, especially during early morning hours.
Temperatures also trend cooler midweek, dropping back toward the 60s before rebounding again.
