Denver weather: Snow returns Thanksgiving night with much colder temps
DENVER (KDVR) — We get to enjoy another mild and sunny day in Denver weather before a colder and snowy change arrives on Thanksgiving evening. The Pinpoint Weather Team, Colorado’s Most Accurate Forecast, has issued a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day for Friday due to cold, accumulating snow and possible slick roads.
Skies will be mostly clear across Colorado with just a few high clouds drifting north to south during the overnight hours.
It will be cold again with all of the state going below freezing. The coldest lows will be in the single digits and teens across mountain towns.
We have another easy travel day on Wednesday with plenty of sunshine and dry conditions across Colorado.
It will also be warmer with afternoon highs about 10-20 degrees above normal for this time of year. You will find 50s across the western half of the state and warmer 60s and 70s over the eastern plains and in metro Denver.
A cold front arrives early on Thanksgiving day in metro Denver and along the Front Range turning skies cloudy and cooling temperatures into the 40s.
Snow showers will develop in the foothills during the afternoon and slide into the city during the evening hours.
Light snow will continue on and off on Friday across the Front Range and in the Colorado mountains. Several inches of accumulating snow looks possible.
Travel could be slick early and again late on Friday. Temperatures turn colder with highs below freezing for a few days.
Skies will clear early on Saturday allowing roads to thaw out. A drier pattern and slow warming will return for the rest of the weekend and early next week.
