Sunshine and 70s return to Denver Sunday. Snow tapers off over SW Colorado

Colorado is parched, so this storm was a welcome sight. While the metro-area saw some moisture, the heaviest precipitation impacted southern Colorado. The southwestern mountains will see the heaviest snow sticking around near Telluride until Sunday midday.

Highs were in the mid 60s for Denver on Saturday, but will be in the 70s this afternoon.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the San Juans until Sunday morning for 1 to 2 feet of snow above 8,500 feet in elevation. The Front Range mountains are not under any advisories.

We’ll see partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies on Sunday and a slight chance of a few isolated showers into the foothills. A few light showers may roll east over the plains tonight. Skies clear for Monday.

Warmer than average and dry weather will return next week. Expect temperatures to soar into the 70s and plenty of sunshine all week long.
