Early December sun lights up the Front Range, melting frost from rooftops as Denver wakes to 33°F and a calm, dry start. It’s a quiet, comfortable pattern for the metro — a winter tease with 60° highs arriving by midweek, ideal for commuters and holiday errands.
The National Weather Service in Boulder reports a steady warm-up ahead. Today will be sunny with highs near 54°F, followed by upper 50s Tuesday and around 60°F Wednesday and Thursday. Winds stay light, mostly under 10 mph, providing stable travel conditions across I-25, I-70, and the Denver Tech Corridor.
While much of the Midwest braces for snow, Colorado stays under the influence of a dry ridge. Expect cold starts near 30°F each morning, giving way to crisp, sunny afternoons. It’s perfect weather for outdoor shopping, home projects, or pre-holiday travel, but don’t get too comfortable — models hint at a pattern shift this weekend that could drop highs back into the 40s.
Meteorologists caution that clear skies and light winds will bring quick temperature drops after sunset, so expect frosty nights through Friday. For now, roads stay dry and skies stay blue — a welcome break before the next round of December cold.
