Denver’s first dusting of snow will likely fall this weekend, with forecasters predicting less than half an inch of the stuff will stick around Sunday night.
Saturday is expected to be mild and sunny, bringing a high of 65 and a low of 38 overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
On Sunday, temperatures will drop from 58 degrees during the day to just below freezing overnight. Rain is forecast before midnight, giving way to snow that will continue into Monday morning.
After the weather clears up Monday afternoon, the snow could return Wednesday and later in the week, along with highs in the 30s and 40s, and lows in the 20s.
On average, Denver sees its first flakes around Oct. 18, with the earliest recorded snow date being Sept. 3 in 1961 and the latest being Dec. 10 in 2021. Last year, the first snowfall of the season was recorded Oct. 28.
