Warming Trend Underway
DENVER (CBS4) - Warming up and thawing out around Colorado, there will be plenty of melting with our well above average temperatures. Tuesday officially hit 46 degrees at DIA, with the low 50s downtown. We'll have plenty of sunshine again Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 50s! The warmth and sunshine stick around through Thursday, Thursday will be our warmest day of the week.
We're watching two systems that could impact Colorado. The first of two cold front we're tracking will arrive Thursday night into Friday. Scattered snow showers will be found in the mountains on Friday and we also have a slight chance for snow (flurries) in Denver. Right now, it doesn't look like much for Denver, most of the moisture should stay out west. Our temperatures will drop a bit, we'll be in the low to mid 40s on Friday.
Sunshine but a little cooler this weekend, highs in the low to mid 40s. That second system we have our eye on could arrive on Monday or Tuesday, and is looking a bit more powerful. This one could bring accumulating snow to the Denver area.
