The NWSBoulder says 'one of the worst cold snaps in 30 years' is coming to the state Wednesday evening. What to expect: How to prepare: COwx
DENVER – It may be mild for December right now, but in true Colorado fashion, that’s all going to change quite rapidly when a blast of arctic air arrives to the state by mid-week, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and highs below freezing – something Denver hasn’t seen in nearly a decade.
The last time Denver had a high below 0° F was February 5, 2014, according to the NWS. The last time it was forecast to be -5° F was December 21, 1990, when the high only reached -7° F. “The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes,” NWS forecasters warned, as they advised Coloradans to avoid prolonged outdoor exposure and to dress in multiple layers of warm clothing. For pet and ranch owners, the NWS advises to keep pets indoors and to check and/or protect livestock and ensure an open water source.
By Friday, the arctic airmass will begin moving east and a warming trend will begin. Highs are expected to be about 20 degrees warmer but it will still be below freezing, NWS officials said.
