Will we have snow this Christmas? Here's Colorado's early holiday forecast
Friday will be mild and dry with unseasonably warm temperatures. Daytime highs will reach into the upper-50s and low-60s which is 15 to 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. This trend continues through the weekend. On Sunday, clouds will increase, but temperatures will remain mild in the low 60s.
Sunday night into Monday, there's a chance for light mountain snow. Models show little moisture with this system with 1 to 2 inches of accumulation possible. Drier conditions are expected Tuesday for Christmas Eve with temperature in the 50s. Cooler and unsettled weather is expected on Christmas Day as the next storm system arrives bringing cooler temperatures and snow to the mountains. By Christmas afternoon we could see a wintery mix in the Denver metro area with the best chance for snow accumulation in the southern foothills and across the Palmer Divide.
