Hey Denver! If you’ve been enjoying the warm days recently, it’s time to prepare for a shift in the weather. Starting Monday night, March 3, 2025, we’ll be seeing a mix of rain and snow, so be ready to bundle up and possibly grab an umbrella. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming weather.
What to Expect This Week
Starting Monday night, the weather will cool down and bring in some wet conditions. Here’s how things are shaping up:
-
Monday, March 3: We’ll have a mostly cloudy day with mild temperatures, reaching a high of around 63°F (17°C). It’ll feel pretty comfortable, but by night, things will start to cool off to about 36°F (2°C). No rain just yet, but clouds will start to gather ahead of the change.
-
Tuesday, March 4: This is when the rain and snow will really start to make an appearance. We’ll be looking at cloudy skies and cooler temps, with highs around 43°F (6°C). As the day goes on, we’ll likely see a mix of rain and snow, especially later in the day. If you’ve got plans to be outside, be sure to layer up, wear waterproof gear, and bring an umbrella.
-
Wednesday, March 5: The weather should clear up a bit, but it’ll still be on the cool side with partly sunny skies. Expect highs of around 47°F (8°C) and lows around 28°F (-2°C). It won’t be as cold as Tuesday, but the chill will still be in the air.
How This Affects You
If you have plans over the next few days, here’s how the changing weather might impact them:
Outdoor Plans
If you’re hoping to get outside on Tuesday, you’ll need to be ready for wet and potentially slushy conditions, especially in the afternoon. It’s a great day for a rainy walk or a cozy indoor activity, but if you’re heading outdoors, make sure to wear waterproof clothing and bring that umbrella.
Driving
For anyone driving, snow and rain can make the roads slippery, so be careful, especially on Tuesday morning and evening. If you’re heading out, take it slow, especially on bridges or overpasses where the weather can freeze quickly. Allow yourself some extra time on the road to account for any slowdowns or delays.
At Home
With cooler weather rolling in, make sure your heating system is working properly, and consider checking your gutters so they don’t get clogged with rain or snow. If you’re staying inside, it’s a perfect opportunity to curl up with a warm drink while the weather shifts outside.
What’s Next?
After Tuesday’s mix of rain and snow, things should calm down a little:
-
Wednesday, March 5: The sun will peek through as we get a mix of clouds and sunshine. The high will be around 47°F (8°C), and while it’ll still feel a bit chilly, at least the snow will be behind us.
-
Looking Further Ahead: The rest of the week should stay cool, with temperatures staying in the upper 40s and low 50s. While it’ll be cool, we should see more sunshine and less wet weather.
