With November approaching, many would think of cold weather and light snow.
However, Coloradans have been experiencing warm temperatures, with an average temperature of 80.9 F from Oct. 1 to Oct. 29, which changed on Oct. 30.
The temperature has changed drastically from a low of 40 F to a high of 40 F in the span of seven days, leading to the first snow of the season on Oct. 30. While the snow wasn’t enough to stick to the ground, there was a freeze warning from 10 p.m. to 9 a.m.
According to AccuWeather, the future forecast does plan on temperatures rising to 65 F on Nov. 2, but by Nov. 4, the highest temperatures will range from the mid-40s to the mid-50s, with some outliers.
