Cool, Wet Weather Moves into Denver
A storm system is bringing cool and wet conditions to the Denver metro area in early April. Denver7’s Lisa provides the latest First Alert Weather forecast every weekday morning starting at 4:30am.
Wednesday's Forecast: Rain and Mountain Snow
Roads are currently dry for the morning commute, but rain is expected to develop for Wednesday night’s commute. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than normal for this time of year.
Winter Weather Advisory for the High Country
Snow is falling in the mountains and will continue through early Wednesday evening. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of the high country and remains active through 9 p.m. Wednesday night.
Most mountain areas above 9,000 feet are forecast to receive 5 to 10 inches of new snow, with up to a foot possible on the high mountain passes. Snow combined with wind gusts up to 50 mph will create challenging travel conditions throughout the day.
Eastern Plains and Thursday's Outlook
Scattered showers will move onto the Eastern Plains Wednesday evening as the storm system gradually exits the state. Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 50s, remaining slightly cooler than average for early April.
Thursday will offer a brief respite from the wet weather, with warmer and drier air returning to Colorado. Denver can expect plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the low 70s.
Another System Approaches, Rockies Home Opener Impact
Another storm system is expected to arrive Thursday night. This system appears to be tracking further north, primarily impacting the northern mountains.
While Denver may avoid significant precipitation during the Rockies’ home opener, blustery winds and cooler temperatures are anticipated at Coors Field. Temperatures will drop back into the mid 50s on Friday under partly cloudy skies.
Looking Ahead: Easter Weekend Forecast
Warmer, drier weather is forecast to move in for Easter weekend.
