Cool Today...Cooler Weather on the Way

By Ed Greene

DENVER (CBS4) - Tuesday saw Denver's high temperature was some 16 degrees cooler than Monday's when we only reached 65 degrees. Clearing skies tonight has prompted a Freeze Warning to be issued for northeastern Colorado, including the greater Denver metro area. Forecasting a low of 35 degrees for Denver, but some areas could indeed drop to the freezing mark. Wednesday will see increasing clouds ahead of our surge of colder air with a high in the mid to upper 60s. The cold air comes in on Thursday and some wet weather will come along: that means more light snow for the high country and rain showers for the Denver metro area. Some foothill areas could see occasional rain mixed with snow. Thursday's high in Denver is only expected to be in the lower 50s.

The here comes the weekend and here comes improving weather: mostly sunny skies return for Friday with a high in the low 60s; sunshine continues through the weekend with a high in the low 70s on Saturday and into the mid 70s for Sunday.
