Weather outlook: Midweek cooldown with possible spotty snow Tuesday night

DENVER — Monday started with increasing high clouds, but clearer skies are expected this afternoon.

Afternoon highs will be about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Sunday, ranging from the mid to upper 50 across most of the metro and northeastern Colorado.

Temperatures cool a little more Tuesday under northwest flow, with highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s.

By Tuesday evening and overnight, a fast-moving disturbance and jet streak could spark light showers, mainly in the mountains and along the Palmer Divide.
