Denver, CO – A cold but clear night is ahead for Colorado, with temperatures dropping sharply after sunset across the Front Range and eastern plains.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, skies will remain mostly clear overnight, allowing temperatures to fall significantly by early Saturday morning. Mountain communities could see lows between -5 and 10 degrees, while foothill areas are expected to dip between 0 and 20 degrees.
Along the Urban Corridor — including Denver, Aurora, Lakewood and Fort Collins — overnight lows will generally settle between 10 and 20 degrees. Farther east across the plains, temperatures are forecast to range from 0 to 15 degrees.
Forecasters say the clear skies will contribute to efficient cooling overnight, particularly in higher elevations where subzero readings are possible. Drivers in mountain areas should be alert for icy patches, especially on untreated roads and bridges early Sunday.
Residents are encouraged to dress in layers if heading out late or early, protect pets from prolonged exposure to the cold, and ensure outdoor pipes are properly insulated.
While no major storms are expected, the sharp temperature drop could impact early morning travel and outdoor plans.
