Although meteorological winter started on Saturday, this week in Denver may feel more like fall, according to the National Weather Service.
Dry, sunny skies are forecast for Tuesday through the weekend, when the next snow is expected to fall in Denver.
Denver will see temperature highs in the mid-50s and low-60s throughout the week, with the warmest weather arriving Tuesday and Saturday afternoon, NWS forecasters said.
Tuesday’s temperatures are forecast to peak around 60 degrees in the city, according to forecasters. While that’s nearly 10 degrees under the record, set in 2010, it’s also 14 degrees above a normal Dec. 3.
Light winds will blow through Denver in the afternoon this week, maxing out around 6 mph.
Denver’s Saturday temperatures will also peak around 60 degrees, NWS forecasters said. The second-warmest day of the week will be 15 degrees above the average on Dec. 7 and 10 degrees under the record, set in 1906.
A snowstorm moving into Colorado later this week could hit Denver on Sunday and continue into Monday, according to NWS forecasters.
