Denver Weather: Moving Out Of The Deep Freeze!

DENVER (CBS4) - After the coldest high temperature ever recorded in Denver in October on Monday, temperatures started a slow warming trend on Tuesday that will continue into Wednesday.

Denver officially reached 43 degrees on Tuesday which was still about 20 degrees below normal for the final week of October. The snow on the ground helped to keep temperatures colder than they would otherwise be.

It will also remain mostly sunny and dry for most of the state through the end of the week. The exception is far southeast Colorado where a Winter Weather Advisory continues until 6 p.m. Wednesday for 1 to 3 inches of additional snow for towns like Springfield.
