Sunny skies before an arctic storm hits Denver

It will be sunny and warm Monday in the Denver metro before an arctic storm strikes at night and continues into midweek. The high temperature Monday afternoon will be around 51 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. But the south wind will be replaced by a northerly wind current late in the afternoon. Winds could gust up to 24 mph overnight. The low temperature will be around 12 degrees Monday night. There is a 20 percent chance of snow Tuesday. The high will be below freezing at about 28 degrees. The chance for snow increases to 90 percent Tuesday night, when the wind chill factor will make it feel about minus 6 degrees, the NWS predicts. Between 1 and 3 inches of snow is expected to accumulate in the Denver metro area, according to meteorologists. Snow is expected to continue into Wednesday, mostly before 11 a.m. Wednesday night it will get very cold with a low of about minus 5.  Although the storm will blow over, it will remain chilly on Thursday under sunny skies. The high will reach about 21 degrees, according to the NWS. It will warm up under sunny skies Friday through Sunday, with highs in the lower 40s.
