DENVER, Colo. – After a damp start to the weekend, Colorado’s Front Range is setting up for a bright, breezy stretch of Fall weather heading into the Columbus Day holiday. Temperatures climb into the upper 70s Saturday before easing back into the mid-60s by Monday, delivering an ideal mix of warmth and crisp air for outdoor plans across the metro.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, spotty showers early Saturday will fade as drier air moves in from the west. Skies will clear Saturday afternoon, paving the way for abundant sunshine through the start of the new week. Sunday and Columbus Day both look calm and seasonably mild, perfect for leaf viewing, fall festivals, or local pumpkin patch visits.
Travelers along I-25 and I-70 can expect smooth driving conditions with light winds and clear visibility through midweek. The NWS notes that wind gusts Sunday could reach 20–25 mph across open plains but will ease by Monday. Cooler air will filter in Monday night, hinting at a potential early-week cold snap later next week.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the mild stretch for outdoor chores before temperatures dip again later in October. Keep jackets handy for the evenings, when lows slide into the 40s across Denver and surrounding suburbs.
