, Denver residents can expect winds to gust as high as 15 mph.

Tonight, the city should brace for rapidly changing skies. The NWS reports a slight chance of rain showers, mixing with snow after 9 pm, then gradually ending. Mostly cloudy conditions are slated to become mostly clear, dipping to a low around 29°F with wind chills making it feel more frigid. Westnorthwest winds remaining steady at 9 to 14 mph have the chance of precipitation sitting at 20%.

Wednesday’s forecast promises sunnier skies with a high near 53°F and calmer winds in the afternoon, while by night, a drop to nearly 30°F under mostly clear skies. The NWS points towards a continuing warming trend with Thursday and Friday both seeing highs around the mid-50s and lows hanging near the freezing point.

The weekend outlook from the National Weather Service suggests a consistent pattern of sunny days and partly cloudy nights with little temperature variation, days hovering in the low to mid-50s and nightly temps chilling to the mid-20s. It’s not until Monday that Denver might feel a mix of rain and snow, so residents should enjoy the clear weekend while it lasts.

In their latest Hazardous Weather Outlook, Denver’s NWS office warned of dense fog in Sedgwick and Phillips counties which is expected to clear by mid-morning. Snow showers in the mountains are said to amp up by the afternoon and persist overnight. Snowfall around Rabbit Ears Pass could accumulate to “4 to 8 inches,” while the rest of the high mountains might see “1 to 4 inches,” with less than 2 inches forecasted for the valleys. Windy conditions are also forecasted in the mountains this afternoon and on the plains by early evening with gusts reaching 30 to 40 mph, before subsiding later into the night.

For the following days, the service has predicted, dry conditions are expected through Friday with the next chance of snow in the mountains on Saturday. As the weather developments unfold, the National Weather Service advises that Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight. This could be a good window for locals to venture outdoors before the week’s end ushers in the next bout of wintry mix.
