First freeze of the season likely tonight
Denver's forecast low is near 31° tonight as skies clear behind the departing storm, and a Freeze Watch holds until 9 AM Friday. Cover tender plants and protect outdoor plumbing before dark. anecast.app/for/denver-co #cowx
Today's high near 49°, 17 degrees below average
Denver should top out near 49° today in steady showers, about 17 degrees below the 66.3° average for the date. That snaps a warm run: the last seven days averaged more than 13 degrees above norm anecast.app/for/denver-co #cowx

Monday's middle-of-the-road call is up to 77 from 74, with rain odds down to 5% from 17%. The fork hasn't narrowed, though: runs still stretch from 54 to 88, hinging on whether a backdoor front shows up or warm southerly flow holds. anecast.app/for/denver-co #cowx via @anecast_app
