COLD WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE TODAY

After all the warm weather through yesterday afternoon, temperatures plunged overnight and we are looking at a cloudy, cold day with occasional freezing drizzle. Highs will only reach the mid 30s. The sun will return tomorrow, along with a more seasonable high near 50. For the weekend, highs will be in the 50s with lows in the 20s. There is no snow forecast for Denver in the next week, and little or none expected in the mountains. The drought continues.
