Denver, CO – Rain showers will return to the Denver metro and surrounding areas Friday night, with a wintry twist possible by Sunday in the state’s higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, a pattern shift will bring precipitation back to Colorado from March 28 through March 30. Urban corridors and plains can expect temperatures ranging from the mid-70s on Friday to the mid-40s by Sunday, with rain showers starting Friday evening and continuing through the weekend.
In contrast, the mountains and valleys will experience a more pronounced drop, with highs falling from around 60°F on Friday to the low 40s by Sunday. These areas will likely see a rain/snow mix starting Friday afternoon, with snow more likely during overnight hours and early mornings.
Motorists heading into mountain areas should be prepared for slick roads, especially during morning hours. Residents in the plains should watch for localized flooding in low-lying spots due to prolonged showers.
Travelers are advised to check weather.gov for updated alerts, especially if heading into higher terrain. This weekend’s system, while not extreme, marks a shift back to seasonal moisture following a dry stretch earlier in March.
