Weekend Weather – Mild, Brief Friday Chill

Weekend Weather – Mild, Brief Friday Chill

by Blaine Howerton | NorthFortyNews.com

Northern Colorado is set up for a mostly sunny, milder stretch to close out January and start February, with just a small, late-Friday window for a few flurries near the Interstate 25 corridor.

Friday (January 30) looks mostly sunny with a high near 48 and a low around 19. A weak front slips through late Friday, and while most of the day stays quiet, the National Weather Service notes light snow may develop over the northeast plains late Friday with a few flurries potentially reaching as far west as the Interstate 25 corridor Friday night.

Saturday (January 31) turns warmer with mostly sunny skies and a high near 55, then a low around 23. Foothills and higher terrain may see occasional light snow showers, and breezier conditions are possible—especially near the ridgelines and passes—so plan for a few slick spots if you’re heading into the high country.

Sunday (February 1) stays bright and mild with sunshine and a high near 56, then a low around 27 as clouds increase late. The overall theme is dry, warmer air returning after the brief Friday cool-down—consistent with CSU’s near-term model signals, which emphasize limited precipitation around the Front Range.
