A thick fog will soon give way to blue skies, but a weak storm is approaching and will drop snowflakes before sunrise tomorrow.
Snow is falling in the mountains but will not reach the Denver metro area until about 4 a.m. Sunday, said Robert Koopmeiners, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boulder.
“It’s not going to be fiercely arctic yet,” Koopmeiners said. “I wouldn’t expect huge amounts of snow.”
Today, temperatures are expected to rise to the mid- 40s, but a cold front will drop temperatures by at least 10 degrees Sunday and more than 10 degrees on Monday, when the high is expected to be only in the low 20s, he said.
Temperatures will then rise gradually through the workweek to the lower 40s, Koopmeiners said.
“It’s a typical February,” he said. “It’s usually brown and gray and dry.”
