Denver, CO – The air across the Front Range feels crisp and calm this morning, but the mountains to the west are waking up to a winter tease. A few light snow showers are brushing the high country as Colorado settles into a cooler, breezier stretch ahead of Thanksgiving.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, light rain and snow will continue in the mountains today, mainly along the I-70 corridor south into South Park, where up to 4 inches of snow could fall. Drivers heading toward ski country should plan for slick conditions on mountain passes through Tuesday morning. For the plains, including the Denver metro, skies remain mostly sunny with highs in the 50s and 60s — a pleasant but brisk setup for late November.
A cold front sweeping through Tuesday will reinforce the chill, keeping highs in the mid-40s to low 50s across eastern Colorado. Thanksgiving Day itself looks clear and calm, with light winds and highs around 56°F — perfect for travelers and outdoor gatherings. By the weekend, forecasters are watching another system that could bring light snow back to the region Saturday into Sunday, signaling a colder start to December.
