Sharply Colder Early Next Week! Some Wet Snow Possible Too?!

Though I anticipate a warm weekend (with temperatures as high as the low-to-mid 80s on Sunday), a strong dip in the jet stream and associated cold front (and area of low pressure) will come barreling through late Sunday or early Monday, dropping temperatures a good 25 degrees.

Both Monday and Tuesday we may not make it out of the 50s for highs. Of more interest, though, is that we stand the chance either night of frost even in downtown Denver. I expect low temperatures in the mid 30s both nights, and a freeze (first of the season) in the higher spots.

A cold rain is possible both days, too, and if central Colorado does indeed see precipitation, the snow level could drop as low as 6,000 to 6,500 feet. It's quite possible that locations at or above these levels could see wet snow (with potentially accumulating amounts above ~8,000ish ft.)

I'll update this as we get closer to Monday; until then, enjoy the mild weekend weather....
