Thursday in Thornton chills out, some light precipitation possible

A quick return to colder weather today. We will see mercury readings well below normal and throw in a mix of raindrops and snowflakes.

Cloudy skies will be above throughout the day with only a bit of a chance to see a break in the cover late today. A rain / snow mix will be possible this morning although whatever form the precipitation takes is not expected to amount to much. This afternoon, any precipitation will be all rain. High temperatures today will only reach the low to mid-40s. Winds will be a bit breezy making it feel colder.

Tonight skies will be mostly cloudy to cloudy. Some sprinkles of rain will continue to be possible. Overnight lows will dip to around the freezing mark.
