Denver, Colorado – A calm, mild morning settles over the Front Range this Veterans Day, with downtown lights reflecting off a few high clouds and the air holding a crisp, late-fall cool. After sunrise, the city quickly warms, with highs expected to reach the low 70s — more typical of early October than mid-November.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, Tuesday’s warmth continues through Wednesday as dry westerly flow dominates. Skies remain mostly sunny, with gentle afternoon breezes around 15 mph. It’s a perfect stretch for outdoor events, light yard cleanup, or early holiday travel prep before temperatures shift later in the week.
Thursday stays bright and mild with highs in the lower 70s, but models hint at change brewing over the Rockies. By Friday night, an incoming upper trough from the Pacific Northwest could drop enough moisture to bring rain transitioning to snow across the metro area and higher elevations. The system looks modest, but even a quick dusting could create slick bridges or mountain passes by early Saturday.
Those traveling along I-70, U.S. 36, or Highway 285 should monitor updates as the week progresses, especially if the cold front deepens. For now, the forecast calls for a high near 69°F Friday, followed by lows dipping into the 30s — a strong signal that Denver’s early winter tease may finally arrive.
Looking ahead, the weekend stays cooler but mostly dry, with highs returning to the upper 50s. After a run of sunshine, the Mile High City’s late-week change will mark another step deeper into November’s unpredictable rhythm — where warmth and flakes can trade places in a single day.
