Although it was only 31 degrees before 6 a.m. Tuesday, temperatures will rise to the mid 50s under sunny skies by the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
“A warming trend has begun! Temperatures will slowly warm each day, with near normal readings expected by the end of the week. Above normal temperatures are expected come this weekend,” forecasters predict.
Light variable wind will move out of the south by late Tuesday night.
Temperatures will dip below freezing again early Wednesday night, but it will be a sunny day by the afternoon with temperatures in the mid-50s. On Wednesday night, temperatures will remain above freezing, according to the NWS.
Warming trend continues! Highs in the mid to upper 50s across the plains today, with mainly 40s in the mountains. Above normal temps by the weekend.
