Good morning. Colorado. I'm Michael Mosby. Winter just threw one last punch overnight, six-tenths of an inch of snow fell while you slept. And temperatures crashed to 27 degrees. That cold front? Still here, still angry. Step outside right now and those north winds will find every gap in your jacket. Along the Front Range, you're topping out at 34 degrees today with gusts hitting 36 miles an hour. Light snow wraps up by noon, but the wind keeps howling through early afternoon. Down in the Southern Front Range, it's even rawer — 35 degrees with brutal gusts to 40 miles an hour. Snow ends before lunch there too. The Western Slope? You've got the sweet spot today, mostly sunny skies and a high near 51 degrees. Northwest winds still gust to 40 through morning, but you'll take it. As the sun sets. Tonight brings the coldest air of the week. Lows drop to 19 degrees along the Front Range, 12 degrees in the Southern Front Range. And 25 degrees on the Western Slope, cover up if you're heading out. Monday flips the script. Mostly sunny skies push the Front Range to 55 degrees, the Southern Front Range to 50. And the Western Slope to 61, a few mountain snow showers are possible, but nothing serious. Then the real show starts, tuesday jumps to 73 degrees under sunny skies. Wednesday? 81 degrees. Thursday climbs to 85. And Friday holds at 84. That's 20 to 30 degrees above normal, folks, we could challenge March records by week's end. Classic Colorado — dramatic and unapologetic. See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Colorado. I'm Michael Mosby. Happy Saturday, folks. We're watching a weather whiplash event today, the state is split in two. The Front Range is under a **Red Flag Warning until 9 P.M.** tonight. Strong winds and low humidity mean any spark could take off, but don't get used to the warmth. A powerful cold front is blasting through the state tonight. The Front Range sees rain changing to snow between **midnight and 3 A.M.**. Temperatures plummet overnight. You'll wake up to about **26 degrees** in Denver, with wind chills making it feel like **13 degrees**. Sunday brings a high near **34 degrees**, but strong north winds will make it feel much colder. Down on the Palmer Divide and Southern Front Range, the weather gets intense. The cold front blasts through around **2 A.M.**, expect rain and snow showers likely around **3 A.M.**. Watch for a flash freeze on roads as temperatures drop suddenly, highs Sunday only reach **36 degrees** in Colorado Springs. As the sun sets. The mountains are dealing with a different beast, heavy snow and whiteout conditions are expected tonight. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until **9 A.M. Sunday**, dangerous travel is likely over Vail Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass. Meanwhile, the Western Slope stays mostly dry and windy tonight with a low near **30 degrees**. Looking ahead, the pattern flips completely, while we go from the 30s on Sunday to the 70s by Tuesday. Record-breaking heat is possible by Thursday, with highs nearing **85 degrees**, with that's a **50-degree temperature swing** in less than four days. Charge your phone battery before bed—this cold will drain it fast. — See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Colorado. I'm Michael Mosby. Forget winter. Today's all about sunshine and serious heat — we're running 29 degrees warmer than normal. The kind of March day that has you questioning whether you even own a winter coat anymore. Denver climbs to 73 degrees under bluebird skies. Colorado Springs hits 71. Grand Junction reaches 69 with barely a breeze. That southwest wind gusts to 21 miles an hour along the Front Range, keeping things lively but comfortable. Perfect weather for a lunch break outside if you ask me. But here's the catch — all that warmth and bone-dry air are creating critical fire danger. Red Flag Warnings are up for the San Luis Valley and parts of the I-25 Corridor through 7 P.M. Humidity drops to single digits in spots. Any spark turns into trouble fast, so skip the outdoor burning today. No exceptions. Tonight stays mild. Lows settle into the upper 30s statewide with mostly clear skies continuing. Tuesday keeps the heat rolling with low 70s again, but a weak system brushes through. The northern mountains and San Juans could see a few snow showers by evening — nothing major, maybe an inch or two at the peaks. Eastern plains might catch a scattered shower. A cold front drops through Tuesday night and knocks temps down slightly for Wednesday. For the week. Wednesday cools to the 50s behind that front. Then the heat cranks back up. Thursday through the weekend we're climbing into the 70s and flirting with 80 degrees by Saturday. That's 29 degrees above normal for mid-March. Fire danger ramps up again with gusty winds returning late week. Sunday brings a chance for mountain showers as moisture finally tries to sneak back in. Enjoy the warmth today — just keep those matches in your pocket. See you this afternoon.

Good afternoon. Colorado. I'm Matt Mullins. Step outside and you'll feel it. Spring's making an early play for the spotlight. After a crisp start in the low 30s, we're warming up fast under wall-to-wall sunshine. The Front Range hits 67 degrees this afternoon — that's about 27 degrees above normal for early March. Light southwest winds around 5 miles an hour keep things calm. Down in Colorado Springs, you're topping out at 64 degrees with gentle southerly breezes. Over on the Western Slope. Grand Junction reaches 61 degrees under clear skies. Tonight stays mild. The Front Range drops to 36 degrees with southwest winds picking up to 7 miles an hour and gusts to 16. Colorado Springs falls to 35 degrees as skies clear. The Western Slope sees the coldest overnight low at 32 degrees. Monday brings even more warmth. The Front Range climbs to 71 degrees with southwest winds around 9 miles an hour and gusts to 17. Colorado Springs hits 72 degrees under sunny skies. The Western Slope reaches 69 degrees as southerly flow strengthens. Tuesday stays warm near 69 degrees, but clouds increase and a weak system brings a chance of rain and snow Tuesday night over the northern mountains. Wednesday cools slightly to the mid-50s as that system clears out. Then warmth returns Thursday through the weekend, with highs climbing back into the low 70s under partly sunny skies. One thing to watch — fire weather concerns increase Monday and again late in the week as winds pick up and humidity drops. Stay alert if you're planning outdoor activities. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. See you this evening.

Good morning. Colorado. I'm Michael Nally. In Quick reminder before we dive in, spring forward tonight. Clocks jump ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. Step outside right now and you'll feel that crisp 34 degrees. But here's the thing. That chill won't stick around. High pressure slides in today, bringing sunshine and a serious warmup. Downslope flow kicks in, pushing temperatures well above normal. The Front Range climbs to 67 degrees by mid-afternoon. Colorado Springs hits 64. Over on the Western Slope, expect 61 under cloudless skies. Light southwest winds stay gentle, around 5 miles an hour. Perfect weather for getting outside and soaking up that March sunshine. Tonight stays mostly clear. Lows settle into the mid-30s — 36 along the Front Range, 35 near Colorado Springs, 32 on the Western Slope. Monday cranks up the heat even more. The Front Range pushes to 71 degrees. Colorado Springs reaches 72. The Western Slope climbs to 68. Southwest winds pick up slightly, gusting to 20 miles an hour in spots. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Tuesday stays warm near 69 degrees, but clouds roll in. A weak system arrives Tuesday night, bringing a chance of rain and snow showers. The Front Range could see a mix after 9 P.M. — about a 30 percent chance. Wednesday cools down post-frontal, with highs dropping to the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies. Thursday through the weekend? Warmth roars back. Expect highs climbing into the upper 60s and low 70s. Breezy afternoons become the norm, with gusts approaching 25 miles an hour. Fire weather concerns increase late week as dry conditions and gusty winds combine. Enjoy the sunshine today — it's a beauty. See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Colorado. I'm Michael Nally. In Step outside you'll feel it, that crisp, clean air after yesterday's light snow dusting. We picked up about two-tenths of an inch statewide, just enough to remind us winter isn't quite done yet. But don't let that fool you—this weekend is all about the warmup. The Front Range wakes up to 30 degrees this morning, but by 5 PM we'll hit 62. That's a 22-degree jump from your morning coffee run. The sun is putting in overtime today with clear skies and just a gentle southwest breeze around 7 miles an hour. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me. Down in the Southern Front Range, you're starting even cooler at 28 degrees, but don't worry—you'll catch up fast, reaching 62 by afternoon too. The real difference comes tonight, when you'll drop back to 34 while the Front Range stays milder at 36. Over on the Western Slope, you're the cool outlier this morning at 27 degrees. But you'll win the warmup race tomorrow. Today you top out at 60—still beautiful with clear skies and light winds. Sunday brings more of this spring preview, with highs climbing into the mid-60s for most of us. But here's the twist—Monday and Tuesday could bring our first fire weather concerns of the season. The National Weather Service has already issued a Red Flag Warning for Huerfano and western Las Animas counties Sunday afternoon. Wind gusts could hit 30 miles an hour with humidity dropping to just 6 percent. That's drier than a desert in July. We're riding this warming trend straight through Wednesday, when we might see a brief cooldown and slight chance of mountain snow showers. But don't put away the sunglasses—by Thursday we're back in the 70s statewide. In fact, some southern areas could flirt with 72 degrees by Friday. In One more note, we're gaining 2 minutes and 36 seconds of daylight today. Spring is coming fast! Just 13 days until the equinox. See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Colorado. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and you'll feel the crisp reminder that winter isn't quite done with us. But it's *trying* to let go. We woke up to fog clinging to the valleys after 2.1 inches of fresh snow blanketed the ground overnight, with temperatures plunging to 25 degrees. Classic Colorado — where March plays by its own rules. The Front Range is shaking off the chill with sunshine breaking through that morning fog. Denver and Fort Collins climb to a respectable 49 degrees by mid-afternoon, though you'll want layers — those south winds at 7 miles an hour will keep it feeling brisk. Tonight? Mostly clear skies but don't be fooled: temperatures dip to 30 before rebounding slightly overnight. Down in the Southern Front Range. Colorado Springs and Pueblo are playing it cooler with highs topping out at 48 degrees. The difference maker? That lingering snowpack holding temperatures in check. Overnight lows here take a nosedive to 25 — the coldest spot in the state tonight. Meanwhile, over on the Western Slope. Grand Junction is basking in relative warmth at 55 degrees today. Clear skies and light southwest winds make this the place to be if you're chasing sunshine. Even their overnight low of 27 feels downright balmy compared to the eastern plains. The weekend warmup begins tomorrow. Sunday brings a dramatic shift as downslope winds kick in: Denver jumps to 62 degrees. Colorado Springs hits 63. And Grand Junction flirts with 60. That's 25 degrees25 degrees warmer than today — perfect for melting what's left of that snowpack. Monday and Tuesday serve up summer preview temperatures, with widespread 60s and 70s. The Front Range could hit 70 degrees Monday — that's 20 degrees above normal for early March! A weak cold front Tuesday night briefly cools things down, but we rebound quickly. By Friday, we're right back in the 70s. The twist? While most of us stay dry, the mountains *might* see a few snow showers Tuesday night. Emphasis on *might* — the National Weather Service gives it just a a chance. Either way, it's not enough to disrupt travel plans. So enjoy this weekend's sunshine. Because spring is coming in hot. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day now. And the spring equinox is just 13 days away. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Colorado. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel it. That's not just overcast — that's snow already spreading from the high country down to your doorstep. Along the Front Range, it's coming down now. Here comes 3 to 5 inches by this afternoon, with north winds gusting to 24 miles an hour. Highs only hit 35 degrees. Tonight drops to 22 degrees, with light snow lingering until around 11 P.M. Morning and evening commutes? Plan on snow-packed roads and slower going. Head south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Snow showers this morning turn heavier this afternoon — some areas could see thundersnow. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches, with a high near 37 degrees. Tonight falls to 18 degrees as snow tapers off. Out on the Western Slope, you're catching a break. A chance of snow showers this morning, then a mix of rain and snow. High near 48 degrees. Tonight drops to 26 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Now here's the good news. Saturday brings sunshine and a rebound — highs near 52 degrees along the Front Range, 50 degrees to the south. And 54 degrees out west. Sunday warms even more, climbing into the mid 60s statewide. Early next week? Beautiful. Monday and Tuesday see highs in the upper 60s to low 70s with plenty of sunshine. Perfect weather for getting outside. Wednesday cools slightly behind a dry cold front, but we're still looking at highs in the low 60s. Spring is just 14 days away. And we're gaining 2 minutes and 36 seconds of daylight each day. Enjoy the quiet after today's snow clears out. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Colorado. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you're enjoying this sunshine right now. Savor it. We're about to hit the weather rewind button hard. In the next 24 hours. Step outside and you're looking at 66 degrees under blue skies. The Front Range climbs to 70 this afternoon. Southern Front Range hits 68. And the Western Slope reaches 58. Sounds perfect, right? Here's the catch. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour. And humidity's dropping into the teens. That combo means critical fire danger across the plains and San Luis Valley through sunset. Keep those grills covered and cigarettes snuffed. Then midnight flips the switch. A cold front barrels through and temperatures crash to freezing. Snow starts in the high country late tonight, then spreads to the foothills and I-25 corridor after sunrise Friday. The mountains and Palmer Divide take the brunt — 6 to 14 inches up high, 19 degrees to 19 degrees along the Divide. Denver and the metro area see lighter totals, mostly 1 to 3 inches, but Friday morning roads will be slick regardless. Leave early or work from home if you can. Snow wraps up Friday afternoon. Highs barely crack the mid-30s — 36 along the Front Range, 38 in the south, 46 out west. North winds gust to 24 miles an hour. That's the kind of cold that sneaks through your jacket. Saturday brings the recovery. Sunshine returns, temperatures rebound to the low 50s. And the weekend stays dry. Sunday warms into the low to mid-60s. By Monday, we're back in the low 70s — 19 degrees to 15 degrees above normal. That warmth holds through midweek, though a slight chance of showers returns Tuesday.
