While Denver will remain warm and dry this week, another wave of snow is expected to hit Colorado’s mountains on New Year’s Day, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow is forecast to start as early as 11 a.m. Thursday, hitting several of Colorado’s ski resorts before the storm winds down Friday evening, according to the weather service.
As of Sunday evening, ski resorts that had at least a chance of snow on Thursday included Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen Snowmass, Steamboat, Telluride, Keystone, Crested Butte and Winter Park.
The amount of snow expected to fall across Colorado’s mountains remained up in the air at that time. The weather service’s snow forecasts typically extend three days out.
Temperatures in Denver will dip down to 13 degrees Sunday night before temperatures start to climb back above seasonal averages, according to weather service forecasters.
The city’s daily temperature high will peak near 44 degrees on Monday, hit 51 degrees on Tuesday and hang out around 60 degrees from Wednesday through Saturday, forecasters said. The “normal” high for this time of year is 44 degrees, according to weather service records.
Denver and the Eastern Plains are both expected to remain dry through the weekend. It’s unknown when snow will next arrive in the metro area.
