November 2nd 2024.
This weekend in Denver, we can expect to see our first dusting of snow, according to forecasters. They are predicting that less than half an inch of snow will stick around on Sunday night, making for a picturesque winter wonderland.
But before we get to our snowy Sunday, Saturday will be a pleasant day with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine. The National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 65 degrees and a low of 38 overnight. It will be the perfect day to enjoy some outdoor activities before the colder weather sets in.
On Sunday, things will take a turn as temperatures drop to a chilly 58 degrees during the day and just below freezing overnight. The day will start with rain, but as the night goes on, it will transition into snow that will continue into Monday morning.
Don't worry, though, the snow won't stick around for too long. By Monday afternoon, the weather will clear up and we can expect some sunshine. However, it's not the end of the snow just yet. Forecasters are predicting another round of snow on Wednesday and later in the week, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s and lows in the 20s.
It's not unusual to see snow in Denver at this time of year. On average, the city sees its first flakes around October 18th. However, the earliest recorded snow date was actually on September 3rd in 1961, and the latest was on December 10th in 2021. Last year, we saw our first snowfall on October 28th.
In case you're wondering, this late arrival of snow is not just a one-time occurrence. The first freeze of the year was also late, arriving on October 25th, which is about two and a half weeks later than the average first freeze date.
So, get ready to bundle up and enjoy the first snow of the season, Denver! And don't forget to check out some helpful tips on how to drive in snow and ice, especially if you're new to the area or just need a refresher. Happy winter!
