Late Weekend to Bring Spring Snow to Denver

April 9,2014; 9:01PM,EDT
 
 
Sunny and warm conditions with temperatures in the low 70s will remain in Denver through Saturday afternoon. However, a chance of snow is in the offing for the city late this weekend.
The warmer-than-normal temperatures will be interrupted with a dramatic decrease in temperature beginning Saturday evening into Sunday with a chance for snow accumulation Sunday.
The dramatic change is not uncommon this time of year for Denver.
"[Denver] goes from one extreme to the other a lot of times in the springtime," AccuWeather Meteorologist Ken Clark said. "Fall is the same way. They have huge drops in temperature."

The changeover will begin Saturday night with temperatures in the mid-30s along with rain and drizzle, which will continue into Sunday morning. During the day Sunday, cloudy skies will hover over the city and it will be much colder with highs in the low 40s.
The precipitation, mixing with the cold air, could lead to icy spots on some of the roadways. Residents should take caution when driving.

During the day Sunday, accumulation will be more likely on grassy surfaces, rather than paved surfaces, but the wintry weather could still lead to traffic problems, particularly on Interstate Highway 80 through the pass west of Denver.
On Monday, the weather will warm up with temperatures in the low 60s before shifting to the upper 60s for the rest of the week.
