DENVER — After cold and snow the past few days, more seasonal weather will be in place for the Colorado Rockies' home opener Thursday at Coors Field.
A high-pressure ridge will begin to build into the region on Thursday resulting in sunshine and warm temperatures.
First pitch between the Rockies and the Washington Nationals at 2:10 p.m. Thursday will be a bit chilly, but mostly sunny with a temperature of 52 degrees in the Mile High City.
The Rockies' next three games will have remarkably beautiful weather over the weekend in LoDo. The high temperature in Denver will warm into the 70s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We may even see our first 80-degree reading since the end of last September on Tuesday.
