Denver, Colorado – Mild temperatures across the Denver metro area will hold through Thursday before a Friday cold front cools the region, affecting travel near I-25 and I-70.
According to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder, temperatures will remain near to slightly above seasonal normals for much of the workweek. The only notable exception will be the northeast Colorado plains, where a cold front is expected to move in on Friday, bringing a noticeable temperature drop.
Forecast highs along the Urban Corridor and eastern plains, including Denver, Aurora, and areas near Interstate 25, are expected to reach the mid-40s to mid-50s Wednesday, cooling slightly to the lower to upper 40s Thursday. By Friday, highs are forecast to range from the lower 30s to upper 40s, depending on location.
In the mountains and high valleys near I-70, snow chances are expected to return late Wednesday into Thursday, with light accumulations possible, especially at higher elevations. High temperatures in mountain communities are forecast from the mid-teens to lower 40s Wednesday, cooling to the single digits to mid-30s Thursday and Friday. Lower snow chances may extend into Friday as the cold front passes.
The weather pattern could impact mountain travel along I-70, particularly overnight and early morning hours, where light snow may create slick conditions. Commuters along I-25 should also be prepared for cooler temperatures Friday morning.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and road conditions as timing and impacts become clearer later this week.
