Sunny skies are back on Wednesday, and comfortable conditions continue. The Denver weather forecast has above-average temperatures by Thursday afternoon.

Colorado weather is around the corner. It is a tradition at this point, and this year will be no different. An arctic blast will bring temperatures 20 to 40 degrees below average and a chance for snow.

“With these arctic intrusions, it’s often times colder down in Denver than it is up in the mountains,” said National Weather Service meteorologist David Barjenbruch, adding that below-zero readings are likely across “a good chunk of the state.”
