While the southeast coast of the U.S. is pummeled by a winter storm, Denverites will enjoy sunny skies and warmer temperatures that will minimize the chance of snow over the next week.
Temperatures could rise to a high of 45 degrees on Sunday and will likely hover in the mid-50s through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. Skies will remain clear, except for a slight chance of snow on Wednesday night.
Light snow could fall in the mountains Sunday morning before tapering off. Snow could continue in the mountains Wednesday night and Thursday morning, but the storms aren’t expected to create significant snowfall, according to the weather service.
The snowpack across the state continues to record above average snowfall except for the the southeast corner, according to the weather service. Snowpack in the South Platte River Basin, which includes Denver and the Front Range, is at 141% of median levels.
The snow continues to fly on a frequent basis in the CO mountains. Here's the latest snowpack compared to basin average, and specifically for South Platte Basin comparing it (labeled by dark bold line) to normal progression over the course of the snow season.
