we are looking at a big change 73 days
at or above 90 degrees this year
yesterday was that 73rd day that ties
the record
number of all-time 90 degree days wow
about 60 degrees colder when you look at
our highs this afternoon versus what we
saw yesterday afternoon
and a freeze warning goes into effect
tonight so if you want to cover those
plants bring them inside try to save
them if you can because we're definitely
going to see
some of that vegetation freeze overnight
tonight the snow
starting to really fill in now denver
and down south
and through inglewood into it looks like
highlands ranch still looking at mainly
just some wet conditions
but the snow is starting to switch over
the rain switching now over to snow and
you can see from this shot here
this is city park wow what a wet scene
but we're going from a weekend where we
had ash falling from the sky to
rain and snow so this is a really
welcome change even if this seems a
little early for you it is to get snow
here in denver
it is a good change arvada right now 32
look at golden 28
same thing in evergreen aurora you're
just a few degrees above freezing
we're going to see 30s through the day
teens and 20s in the mountains this
morning
and compared to yesterday at the same
time denver and fort collins about 25
degrees colder
this afternoon again that temperature
change map is going to look even more
dramatic
we have a number of alerts in place
winter weather advisories for the metro
area winter storm warnings for the
foothills
and here's a look at those freeze
warnings that again go into effect
tonight through
midday tomorrow as those temperatures
drop futurecast is
pretty active from the rain switching to
snow through early morning by eight
o'clock we're likely
all going to be seeing snow it's going
to come down pretty heavy and through
those northern front range mountains so
parts of boulder and larimer counties
you're looking at over a foot by early
tomorrow morning
through the afternoon we may see a few
spots up to the northeast
switch over briefly to rain but likely
you're going to see mainly just snow
through tonight that's right around 7 30
and then it will start to taper off a
bit through early tomorrow
we'll likely be waking up to some light
snow showers lingering through the
morning and then potentially a few
flurries in the afternoon
upper 30s to low 40s it's going to be
pretty chilly again tomorrow afternoon
as well
just a touch warmer than what we're
going to see today these totals again
are going to seem a lot more impressive
when you look at the numbers because a
lot of this is going to melt when it
hits the ground
but still those totals will be at over a
foot for the foothills northern front
range mountains
that is some really good much needed
moisture considering our drought
conditions
three to six inches for the metro area
and then the palmer divides
spots like castle rock castle pines and
then stretching west through roxboro
park
you're looking at more like around five
to ten inches by midday tomorrow
so that's why we've issued a denver
seven weather action day both today
and tomorrow for the cold the snow the
early snow and then a big warm-up this
is such a crazy colorado seven day but
it happens we're going to be back in the
70s
by friday mostly sunny skies into the
first of next week
80s
