Denver, Colorado – After several mild days across northeastern Colorado, winter is set to make a noticeable comeback late Saturday night into Sunday, bringing colder temperatures and widespread snow with travel impacts likely along the Front Range.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver and Boulder, mild conditions will continue through Saturday, with highs running above normal across the plains and foothills. Gusty winds over higher terrain on Friday may elevate fire weather concerns, while the mountains see periods of light snow Friday night and again Saturday.
By Saturday night, a strong cold front is expected to push south across the region. Temperatures will fall quickly overnight as snow spreads from the mountains into the foothills and plains. Widespread snowfall is expected Sunday, with impacts likely along the I-25 corridor from Fort Collins through Denver and Colorado Springs.
Mountain communities can expect accumulating snow beginning Friday night and continuing through the weekend, while lower elevations may see snow develop late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The combination of colder air and steady snow could create slick roads, reduced visibility, and difficult travel conditions, especially during early Sunday.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the mild weather through Saturday to prepare for winter driving conditions. Travelers should plan for changing conditions Saturday night and monitor updates from CDOT and the National Weather Service, as additional advisories may be issued ahead of the colder, snowier pattern expected Sunday.
