Denver weather: Mountain snow overnight, cooler overall Friday

DENVER (KDVR) — October’s unseasonably mild weather pattern will continue, but the Denver metro area will have some cooler weather mixed in. Overall, the Denver weather forecast continues to look mostly dry. That said, the mountains will see some light snow overnight Thursday.

Accumulations are expected to be minor, generally 1 to 2 inches, with slightly higher amounts possible in the highest elevations.

Weather tonight: Mountain snow, mostly dry metro

While most precipitation will stay in the mountains overnight Thursday, the Interstate 25 corridor may see a brief light shower overnight. Skies will be mostly cloudy with lows around 40 degrees.

Weather tomorrow: Seasonal weather

Skies will begin mostly cloudy Friday, but the metro will see sunshine heading into the afternoon. Temperatures will be cooler with highs in the low 60s, which is seasonal. If clouds clear sooner the metro would likely be warmer, but if they stick around longer into the afternoon it’ll be cooler.

Looking ahead: A mild weekend, but briefly cooler next week

Saturday brings sunny skies to the region with temperatures around 70 degrees. Winds will be light from the south. Another storm system will swing by to our north, but highs in Denver will stay well above normal. Winds will also pick up making for a breezy Broncos game.

That same storm system may bring snow to the northern mountains overnight Sunday and Monday. Although it may be left dry again in Denver, a slight chance for a light rain shower exists. Either way it will stay windy. Temperatures will briefly dip into the 50s for Tuesday and Wednesday.
