Good morning, Denver! If it felt like winter when you stepped outside today… you’re not imagining things. It’s Saturday, April 19, and the Mile High City is off to a cold start with temps in the upper 20s. You might even spot a few snow flurries floating around early on — nothing too intense, but definitely a reminder that spring in Colorado can still come with surprises.
The high today tops out around 50°F, which is on the cool side for this time of year. It’ll be a mix of clouds and sunshine throughout the day, and while it won’t feel toasty, at least we’ll avoid any major storms or heavy snow. Just don’t forget your jacket — the breeze will make it feel even colder.
Heads-Up for the Morning Commute or Weekend Plans
If you’re heading out early, keep an eye out for slick spots on roads and sidewalks, especially in shaded areas or overpasses. That light snow and overnight chill may leave behind a thin layer of ice. Go slow and stay safe.
Looking Ahead: Spring Makes a Comeback Soon
Don’t worry — this chill won’t stick around for long. Here’s what the next few days look like:
-
Sunday: A bit more cloud cover, but warmer. Expect highs in the low to mid-60s.
-
Monday & Tuesday: Sunshine returns, and so do the spring vibes — highs in the low 70s with mild evenings.
Perfect weather for a hike, lunch on the patio, or just airing out the house.
What to Keep in Mind
-
Bring layers if you’re out today — it starts cold and doesn’t warm up much.
-
If you’re doing anything outdoors this weekend, Sunday and Monday are your best bets for nicer weather.
-
Enjoy the cool air now — because by next week, you’ll be swapping that puffy jacket for your favorite hoodie.
