Beautiful fall weather today before a Saturday cold front and wind

We've got beautiful fall weather today with lots of sunshine and highs in the 60s ahead of a blustery Saturday.

This afternoon, we'll see plenty of sunshine and dry conditions statewide. Breezy conditions are expected in the mountains Friday night, with gusts up to 45-55 mph.

Saturday will turn windier as a storm system passes off to our north. That'll usher in some 30-40 mph winds in Denver along with a few clouds. There will be a chance for scattered mountain snow showers and maybe a rain shower or two across far northern Colorado.

Otherwise, we'll be dry and cooler behind a cold front, with highs struggling to hit 60 degrees in Denver. Saturday night turns colder, with some freezing temperatures across the rural plains. Lows will be in the mid-to-upper 30s for the metro-area. Look for some frost and freeze advisories to be issued ahead of this.

Milder conditions return to the region Sunday. Looking ahead to the Broncos game Sunday, sunshine and 70s are expected around kickoff at 2:05 p.m.

On Monday, winds pick up with fire danger a concern potentially south of I-70 as our next storm system approaches. The high country may see a few snow showers on Monday into Tuesday. The Front Range may experience a few scattered rain showers, but we're leaning on the drier side on Monday afternoon in Denver.

Looking ahead, seasonal temperatures and mainly dry conditions are expected through the week, with highs in the 60s next week and our next meaningful chance for showers not until next Thursday.
