Denver, CO – Residents in Colorado should prepare for a mix of rain and light snow tonight, particularly in foothill and mountain areas. As clouds increase this afternoon, precipitation will develop after sunset, with temperatures dropping to the mid-20s to low-30s overnight. Travel impacts are expected to be minimal, but isolated slick spots could form on roads in higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service, the heaviest snowfall will be localized around Rabbit Ears Pass, though totals are expected to remain light. Urban areas along the plains, including Denver, will see mostly rain showers or light, scattered snowflakes.
Looking ahead, Friday will bring mostly sunny skies and mild conditions, with highs reaching 51 degrees in Denver and the foothills. Temperatures will continue climbing through Sunday, with a high of 63 degrees expected before cooler weather arrives Monday. A slight chance of rain and snow returns Sunday evening, potentially affecting drivers on I-70 and nearby roads.
Mountain travelers should remain cautious, especially during overnight hours when snow may cause limited visibility and slippery conditions. Officials recommend checking updated road conditions before venturing out.
As the weekend approaches, Coloradoans can look forward to unseasonably warm daytime temperatures but should stay prepared for fluctuating conditions, particularly in higher altitudes.
