Denver weather: Sunny and warm Wednesday before chance of rain
Another day of sunny and unseasonably warm conditions is on tap for Denver on Wednesday before a chance for rain moves into the forecast, meteorologists said.
The National Weather Service in Boulder said to expect a high Wednesday of 58 degrees at Denver International Airport, the city’s official weather monitoring station. That’s about 13 degrees warmer than the average high for Feb. 11 in the city, according to weather service archive data.
Tonight, expect temperatures to dip to 34 degrees in Denver, meteorologists said.
The weather service said to expect a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain in Denver on Thursday and Friday.
