Sunshine and 70s all week ahead of weekend storm and chance for showers

Another warm, dry Monday in November with above-average highs and lots of sunshine to start the week. The next high-pressure ridge setting up over the area will keep incoming storms north of our forecast area through Friday.

Afternoon temperatures will continue in the upper 60s and lower 70s through Friday. The average high for this time of year is 55 degrees. The warm, dry pattern is raising concerns for elevated fire danger, especially with a wind increase on Tuesday, along with potential record highs.

Little to no rain is expected until the weekend, when our next storm system begins moving in from the west.

By Saturday, that system will bring cooler temperatures and a chance for some mountain snow, with the possibility of a few passing rain or snow showers along the Front Range and in Denver. Highs will dip into the mid-50s.

As we move into early next week, things will stay a bit cooler and more unsettled. With the storm system lingering to our east, we could see a few bands of showers wrap back into eastern Colorado.

Expect highs in the 40s and 50s to start next week.

In the middle of next week, a weather system may bring the chance for snow showers to lower elevations. Stay tuned!
