Warm Up For Thursday, Then Another Cooling Trend
DENVER (CBS4) - What a gorgeous day in Colorado! Winds were a bit gusty in some areas as as cold front approached the state. These southwesterly winds warmed us up quite a bit, we were close to 80s degrees in Denver today. La Junta in southeastern Colorado was close to 90!
That cold front will move through the state tonight through Friday morning. There isn't any moisture associated with it, so skies will stay dry on Friday but our temperatures will drop to the mid 60s.
Saturday is another overall dry day, however as an area of low pressure skirts to our north, there is a chance we get a few showers as it passes to the east. A few showers are possible in Denver, with a little snow even possible in the high country.
Our temperatures really cool off on Saturday night, below freezing in many areas. This means if you're running the Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon Sunday morning, you'll be off to a chilly start.
Sunday afternoon will include mostly sunny skies with high temperatures in the lower 60s. The Denver area will be in the mid 50s by kickoff of the Broncos game at 6:30 p.m.
