Denver weather today swings from mid-80s and gusty winds to a severe storm threat and possible Front Range snow by Sunday — classic Colorado whiplash in a single weekend. If you're running the Colfax Marathon or heading outdoors, you need this forecast before you commit to anything.

Denver, buckle up. The wind is already picking up, storms are building to the south and east, and by Sunday you might be staring at snowflakes.
Temperatures are climbing into the mid-eighties across the metro. It's warm, it's sunny in stretches, and it would feel like a pretty solid spring day if not for the wind.
There's one more layer to Friday that doesn't get talked about enough. The combination of mid-eighties, sunshine, and gusty wind is pushing fire-weather conditions toward near-critical on the eastern plains.
Now here's where things get serious. The weekend is not a continuation of Friday.
And then there's the part that genuinely surprises people every time spring does this. Snow showers are possible on the Front Range Sunday into Monday as the cold system moves through.
One specific event worth calling out: the Colfax Marathon is Sunday, and if you're running it or cheering someone on, soggy and unsettled conditions are looking likely. Dress in layers you can shed.
Denver. Mid-eighties and gusty today, with storms building south and east this afternoon.
