Sunshine and 60s for the first full week of October, warmer by the weekend!

DENVER — FORECAST BY: Ed Greene

FORECAST AT A GLANCE: Our next system brushes by the state today kicking off a few morning showers, but by afternoon drier air will move back into the state. 

A cold front will also drop through Colorado ushering much cooler air behind it with Denver’s high only reaching near 70 degrees today. Snow levels in the high country will drop to around 8500 feet with some areas possibly receiving several inches. 

Temperatures will remain cooler than normal until the weekend when we warm back into the 70s in Denver with plenty of sunshine.
