Warm and Dry Start to February in Colorado With Brief Midweek Cooldown
A ridge of high pressure west of the state is driving the unusually mild, dry pattern.
Overview
- Highs reached the low 60s on the plains Sunday, running roughly 10–15 degrees above average.
- A weak front Tuesday into Wednesday will cool temperatures and bring a chance for light precipitation.
- Some areas may see rain or a brief wintry mix before a transition to light snow, with limited impacts expected.
- Mountain snow forecasts vary, with estimates ranging from less than an inch to about 2–4 inches by midday Wednesday.
- Temperatures are forecast to rebound to the 50s and 60s late week as warm, dry conditions reestablish.
