Mild Weekend Sets Up Denver for Monday Cold Front With Rain, Cooldown and Mountain Snow Risk
Forecasters highlight a Monday cold front—expect cooler highs, higher rain odds, possible mountain snow.
Overview
- Saturday and Sunday stay mostly sunny and comfortable across Denver, the Front Range and the plains, with highs in the 70s to low 80s and cool nights in the 40s to 50s.
- Spotty afternoon showers or a brief storm may develop over the mountains, while the metro area remains largely dry; southern counties see increasing chances later day.
- A cold front is expected Monday, bringing a good chance of rain late day into Tuesday and a sharp drop in temperatures from the weekend warmth.
- Snow is likely above timberline Monday night and could dip toward 9,000–10,000 feet, which may affect high-country travel on passes.
- Some outlets note possible eastern Pacific tropical moisture feeding into the system, which could enhance rainfall before showers taper by midweek as conditions turn milder.
