Denver and surrounding cities are activating public warming shelters Friday as a deep freeze rolls into the Front Range.

After weeks of near-springtime-like weather, the temperature dropped to a high of 15 degrees Friday, with wind chills potentially making it as cold as -4 during the day and -9 at night. Saturday and Sunday will see slightly higher highs of 21 and 24 degrees, respectively. The metro Denver area could see some light snow as well.

In preparation for the temperature drop, Denver Parks and Recreation will open all recreation centers during regular business hours on Friday and Saturday for those who need a place to warm up, they said in a Thursday night news release.

Each center will have designated areas for warming, as well as drinking water, bathrooms and places to sit, according to the release. Denver Public Library locations are also available to the public as indoor warming resources.

In addition to Denver, neighboring cities also announced the opening of warming shelters in light of the arctic temperatures.

Westminster activated an emergency cold shelter at The MAC, located at 3295 W. 72nd Ave., Thursday at 5 p.m., and will operate it until noon Sunday, according to the city’s website. The shelter will have supplies for about 100 people; fire and police staff will also be on hand to support those with health, safety and security concerns.

Commerce City will activate a shelter at the Eagle Pointe Recreation Center, 6060 E. Parkway Dr., from 6 p.m. Friday through 10 a.m. Sunday, according to the city’s website. The shelter has a maximum capacity of 30 people and does not have storage space available for people outside of one personal backpack or bag, according to the website. Anyone who wants to check the capacity of the shelter or ask questions can call 303-656-1009.
