Denver, CO — A weak cold front moving through the Denver area today will bring cooler temperatures and higher cloud coverage. Expect highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, which is about 10 degrees cooler than Thursday. Residents should plan accordingly for a brisker day, especially in the morning as the cold front settles in.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the front will push through northeast Colorado, lowering temperatures across the state. In Denver, today’s high will reach 74°F with partly cloudy skies. Winds are expected to be light, coming from the north and shifting to the south-southwest overnight.

For travelers, the cooler weather might impact early morning commutes on major roads like I-25 and I-70. While there are no weather-related warnings, drivers should prepare for slightly slower traffic conditions due to cloud coverage and potential early-morning wind gusts.

Looking ahead, the weekend will warm up. Saturday’s forecast calls for a high near 83°F, with sunny skies returning by afternoon. Winds will pick up, with gusts reaching 16 mph. By Columbus Day, temperatures will stabilize around 79°F, offering a pleasant day for outdoor activities.
