Mountain snow continues tonight, rain in the metro

We finally got (a tiny bit) of rain and snow, Denver! After a near month-long wait of 24 days, the longest dry streak of 2025, Denver got a bit of rain on Thursday night, with a bit more likely for Friday morning.

Some mountain snow will continue through the overnight hours, with the steadiest snow generally along and south of I-70. However, most of the main passes will be a bit slick overnight. Careful if you're driving through the high country, even though totals won't be too impressive!

The mountain snow and lower elevation rain will continue into Friday morning, with most of the precipitation done by noon on Friday. Rain totals will increase the further east you go across the state, with around a tenth of an inch of rain possible in Denver.

We've had a few flakes around the Palmer Divide, including the Monument area, and snow levels will remain at or above 6500'. So, only the higher foothills will see their first flakes of the season, with roads staying just wet across most/all of the metro area.

Skies will gradually clear on Friday afternoon, but it'll stay chilly with highs in the mid-40s in Denver, a few degrees below average.

Temperatures briefly rebound on Friday under a fast developing area of high pressure, with highs near 60 degrees in Denver under sunny skies. But another cutoff area of low pressure will spin in from the south and west on Sunday, and that'll bring some rain showers for the Eastern Plains and potentially the Denver area on Sunday night and Monday morning.

The mountains will get some snow out of this as well, with the southern mountains once again standing to get the highest totals out of this next storm system.
