Denver, CO – March is kicking off with a mix of warm, sunny days followed by rain and snow early next week. Residents can expect temperatures in the mid-60s this weekend, but a shift to cooler, wetter conditions begins by Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service, Denver will enjoy clear skies and mild temperatures through Sunday, with highs reaching the mid-60s. Saturday and Sunday will feel like an early taste of spring, with light winds and mostly sunny conditions. However, by Monday, a storm system will move in, bringing a chance of rain in the afternoon before transitioning to snow overnight.
Monday night’s low will dip to around 33°F, with snow likely continuing into Tuesday morning. Highs on Tuesday will struggle to reach the mid-40s, making for a noticeable cooldown. Light snow may persist into Tuesday night before clearing out by midweek.
Drivers should stay alert for potential slick conditions on I-25 and other major roadways Monday night into Tuesday morning. Commuters should plan ahead, as rain transitioning to snow could lead to icy patches during the Tuesday morning rush.
Looking ahead, Wednesday and Thursday will bring drier conditions with partly cloudy skies and highs nearing 50°F. While the early part of March is bringing a rollercoaster of weather, the weekend will offer a pleasant break before winter conditions return.
