Denver weather: Mild temps return to the city midday Tuesday
Jan 21, 2025
For the first time since Friday evening, temperatures in the Denver area will rise above freezing, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are expected to hit 34 degrees around noon and peak at 40 degrees around 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to NWS forecasters. That will put the city’s below-freezing streak, which started at 3 p.m. Friday, at 93 hours.
Denver was originally expected to stay below-freezing through Tuesday into Wednesday afternoon, which would have put the streak closer to 115 hours.
While the worst of the arctic airmass is moving out of Colorado on Tuesday, a bitter wind chill will still chill the city. Forecasters said Denver’s “feels like” temperatures will top out around 31 degrees Tuesday.
Temperatures in the city will hover near freezing — around 33 degrees — on Wednesday and Thursday, heat up to 48 degrees on Friday and dive back down into the 20s on Saturday, forecasters said.
