Denver, CO – Colorado residents can expect light snow tonight in the mountains, gradually clearing by early Tuesday morning. Areas above 6,000 feet may see snowfall accumulations, though lighter amounts are anticipated.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the evening snow will taper off by midnight, leaving mostly clear skies across the plains. Temperatures on Tuesday are expected to reach a mild 60 degrees in Denver, with light winds offering calm conditions for morning commuters.

Thursday offers a respite with sunny conditions and highs in the mid-50s, but colder temperatures return by Friday night. Rain and snow showers are predicted for lower elevations, while heavier snow could accumulate at higher altitudes.
Residents should stay updated on weather changes, especially as holiday travel ramps up. The NWS advises drivers to check local forecasts and road conditions before venturing into mountainous regions.
Looking ahead, the weekend is shaping up to be mild, with partly sunny skies and highs near 50 degrees, making it a promising time for post-Christmas activities.
