Denver, CO – The Rockies could see a classic mix of spooky clouds, gusty winds, and even snow this Halloween as temperatures trend downward across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, the region sits on the boundary between cooler western air and warmer Plains flow, meaning late-October weather could turn variable and fast-changing. The 8–14-day outlook favors above-normal precipitation for northern Utah and Wyoming, while temperatures are projected to lean near or slightly below normal.
That combination opens the door for rain at lower elevations and light snow in the mountains, particularly along the Front Range and Wasatch. For trick-or-treaters, that means a chill in the air and the potential for slick spots after dark.
Families are urged to bundle up kids with base layers under costumes, use reflective outerwear, and keep an eye on changing conditions if venturing into higher terrain. Wet leaves, puddles, or early snow can make sidewalks slippery.
If you’re planning community events, consider indoor backup options like recreation centers or covered porches. Forecasters emphasize that patterns can shift quickly this time of year, so local updates during the final week of October will determine whether it’s a dry chill — or a flurry-filled fright night.
