Thornton’s weekend starts wintry, ends springlike

While we start off the three-day period with less than ideal conditions, it will be short-lived and not particularly dramatic. We then rebound nicely with very nice days Saturday and Sunday.

For today, patchy fog, light snow and some freezing drizzle will be seen this morning. Light accumulations of a half inch or less will be possible. Roads may be icy in spots this morning so be aware. Any precipitation should be pretty much done by 1:00pm. Highs will only be in the mid-30s. Tonight, skies will gradually clear and we will be dry. Lows will dip to the low to mid-20s.

Saturday offers up a quick recovery. We will enjoy sunny skies and calm, dry conditions. High temperatures will be in the mid-50s. Saturday night, lows dip to the mid-20s under mostly clear skies.

Sunday will be the warmest day of the period with highs in the low to mid-60s. Sunny skies will be above and we will again be dry and calm.
