Monday is just as comfortable with mostly sunny skies and highs in the middle 60s. Tuesday stays above average with highs in the low 60s and plenty of sunshine.

Wednesday will have clouds increasing throughout the day with highs in the low 50s. Rain is possible later in the day, before turning into snow overnight.

Snow looks to linger through Thursday with falling temperatures. Highs near midnight will be in the low 40s. This could bring some decent snowfall totals to the Front Range.
