Thornton’s weekend to feature chilly temps, unsettled conditions
Friday, March 24th, 2023 5:08am MDT
Not exactly the ideal first weekend of spring that you might hope for. While we start out not too bad, overall the weekend will see temps well below normal and we expect some accumulating snowfall.
For today, following some patchy fog, mostly sunny skies will be above in the morning. Highs will top out around 50 degrees. The afternoon sees cloud cover increase and mid-afternoon may see a sprinkle of rain. As temps drop, precipitation will change to snow. Overnight we may see 1 to 2 inches. Lows will be in the mid-20s.
Saturday will be the coldest day of the period with highs only in the upper 30s. Mostly cloudy skies will be above and light snowfall will be possible throughout the daytime hours. Accumulations less than an inch during that period are expected. Saturday night, any lingering snow should end by midnight and skies will begin to clear. Lows will drop to around 20 degrees.
Sunday starts out nice with mostly sunny skies but chilly temps will remain. Highs will be in the low 40s. Cloud cover will again increase Sunday afternoon and the evening may bring some snow although only minimal accumulations are expected. Have a good weekend!
