Overview

• Mountain towns hit peak foliage this weekend with comfortable highs in the 60s and 70s, drawing prime leaf-peeping conditions.
• Denver runs in the upper 70s to low 80s, with a slight chance of brief pop-up showers Sunday and Monday that could brush Broncos tailgating or the game start against the Bengals.
• Saturday keeps the Front Range largely dry as showers favor higher elevations, while Sunday brings more widespread activity across western Colorado with the bulk over the southeast.
• South to southeast winds turn breezy on the Eastern Plains, where gusts could reach roughly 35 to 40 mph at times.
• The coming week trends warm and mostly dry, with forecasters flagging the potential for 90s to return on the Eastern Plains late week and patchy high-country frost on clear, calm nights.
