Denver is gearing up for a weather change as a winter-like storm moves into the area, bringing colder temperatures and the possibility of snow in the mountains. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the San Juans, with up to 2 feet of snow expected above 8,500 feet in elevation. The Front Range mountains could see around 6 inches of snow near Interstate 70.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 30s and 40s in the mountains, with mid to upper 50s across the plains. Rain showers are forecasted to develop on Friday afternoon and continue overnight. This storm comes as a relief amid worsening drought conditions in the region.
Denver hasn’t seen rain since September 22, so this storm brings a much-needed change in weather. The system is expected to move out of the area by Sunday, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-60s. There is a slight chance of spotty showers on Sunday afternoon.
After the storm passes, warmer and drier weather is forecasted to return early next week. Residents are advised to prepare for the wet and chilly weather in Denver for the next couple of days.
