As I look ahead to the upcoming weekend in Northern Colorado, it appears we’ll experience a classic mix of spring weather—starting with a touch of winter and transitioning into milder, sunnier days. Here’s the detailed forecast for Fort Collins and surrounding areas:
Friday, April 4: A Wintry Start
Today, we’re seeing a continuation of winter’s grip. Snow showers are likely, especially between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., with daytime temperatures peaking near 38°F. It’s also breezy, with north winds around 11 to 18 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. Snow accumulation is expected to be minimal, less than half an inch. As night falls, there’s a 30% chance of lingering snow before 9 p.m., with temperatures dropping to around 23°F. The winds will calm slightly but remain noticeable.
