The National Weather Service in Denver anticipates a brisk change in weather conditions for the Centennial State, following a slight chance of morning snow showers today. Residents can expect the clouds to part, giving way to mostly sunny skies, with temperatures peaking around 40 degrees, accompanied by blustery conditions. According to theNational Weather Service, a west wind of 7 to 12 mph will rise to 19 to 24 mph in the afternoon, with potential gusts reportedly reaching as high as 36 mph.
As the night ushers in colder air, the weather service predicts mostly clear skies with lows near 22 degrees. The wind isn’t set to take a break either, with westerly speeds of 9 to 16 mph turning south southwest after midnight and chances of gusts up to 25 mph. For those planning ahead, Wednesday is set to pleasantly warm up to around 53 degrees with a lighter, more variable wind pattern.
In their Hazardous Weather Outlook, the NWS has flagged multiple concerns. Morning travelers along the I-70 Corridor through Summit County should be wary of slick and hazardous conditions owing to lingering snow showers. Furthermore, they remark that single-digit and even a few below-zero readings are to be expected in the mountain areas, with the plains experiencing a frostier dip into the teens and lower 20s for the nighttime lows.
Fire safety remains an issue as the gusty winds and very dry airmass converge, leading to elevated fire weather conditions in regions of the plains that lack snow cover. Come Wednesday morning, high wind speeds are forecasted to potentially bluster up to 60 mph over the Front Range mountains and higher foothills, bringing some concern for areas prone to wind impacts. As the week progresses, a shift towards dry and milder conditions is expected through Saturday, though adventure seekers should note multiple systems poised to bring snowfall to the mountainous regions from Sunday onward.
