Record Highs Tuesday...Could See Snow By Thursday!

By Ed Greene

DENVER (CBS4) - Presidents Day - as we promised you last week - was sunny, dry and mild and also become the seventeenth consecutive day with an above normal temperature in Denver as we pushed to an official high of 63 degrees. For Tuesday we will go for another record high - could warm into the mid 70s - and that would smash the current record high of 71 degrees set back in 1995. Pleasant again on Wednesday with mostly sunny skies and a high in the mid 60s. However, the warmth won't last...as Winter makes a comeback in Colorado by Thursday.

Tons of moisture currently moving onto the west coast - maybe as much as 8" of rain in some areas of northern California - and that will be working its way toward Colorado resulting in more good snow for the mountains. But this time, the moisture will make it to the eastern plains just as colder air moves in to our state...so look for some of the white stuff back in Denver with diving temperatures: high on Thursday will only be in the upper 30s with a good chance for snow; colder still on Friday with a high around the freezing mark along with scattered snow showers. Lows will drop into the teens!

As we start the weekend, we're back to partly sunny skies Saturday but a high only in the upper 30s; partly cloudy Sunday as we inch into the low 40s.
