Denver weather: Coldest morning since April, “spooktacular” night in forecast for trickortreating
Oct 31, 2024
Despite Wednesday’s snow and an overnight freeze warning, the Halloween weather will be “spooktacular” for trick-or-treaters in the metro area, according to the National Weather Service.
With overnight lows near 29 degrees, Thursday morning was the coldest day in Denver since April 9, when low temperatures bottomed out around 25 degrees, according to NWS records.
That’s more than 200 days with days without Denver temperatures in the 20s.
Denver will see sunny skies Thursday and a high near 58 degrees before temperatures drop back down to 29 degrees overnight, NWS forecasters said.
During the start of prime trick-or-treating time — around 6 p.m. — Denver area temperatures will range from 50 to 55 degrees, forecasters said.
Temperatures will fall into the 40s after sunset and into the 30s around 10 p.m., which is normal for this time of year, forecasters said.
Light winds of up to 8 mph will be possible throughout the evening, NWS forecasters said.
