Denver will see temperatures comfortably clear freezing Sunday but the relative warmth won’t stick around long as a blast of arctic air is on deck for Monday, according to National Weather Service forecasts.
The mercury should inch its way into the mid-40s in the Mile High City Sunday, though morning wind gusts could produce wind chill values as low as minus 4, the Weather Service says.
After a sunny, clear day Sunday, some cloud cover could roll across the Front Range in the evening as a storm system moves north across the state from the southwest. The overnight low is expected to be around 17 in Denver.
That low pressure system will draw down arctic air, National Weather Service forecaster Mike Baker said, which will result in a mostly cloudy, cold Monday along the northern Front Range with snow flurries and freezing drizzle possible in some places. The high temperature is expected to be 31 degrees.
After temperatures bottom out around 20 overnight on Monday, a warmer trend will emerge. Tuesday’s high should be in the low 50s, and Wednesday could see temperatures in the 60s, according to forecasts. After another sunny, warm day Thursday, Denver could see another chance for moisture Friday.
The snowstorm that hung around Denver Saturday produced snow totals of 2 to 4 inches in the metro area, according to National Weather Service reports.
