Will it still be rainy, snowy on Easter Sunday?
DENVER (KDVR) — After a snowy and wet start to the holiday weekend, the sun will return just in time to celebrate Easter Sunday.
Whether you are headed to Red Rocks for the annual sunrise service, church or to an egg hunt, you will want to pack warm clothes for the start of the day.
Friday and Saturday are both Pinpoint Weather Alert Days due to a storm system that is bringing rain and snow to the Front Range. Temperatures will drop to the mid-30s; however, snow accumulation will be minimal in Denver.
Due to continuous melting, snow may only stick to grassy areas and some roadways.
Denver weather: Cold and snowy Friday, Pinpoint Weather Alert Day
This is good news for those looking to meet the Easter bunny or hunt for eggs on Sunday.
The Colorado Council of Churches is hosting its annual Red Rocks Easter Sunrise Service at 6 a.m., and it will be chilly.
Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said overnight lows will be in the low-to-middle 20s, so those heading to Morrison at around 4:30 a.m. when doors open will need to bundle up with coats, hats and gloves.
While temperatures will be brisk, Michels said there will only be a few clouds in the sky, meaning the sunrise should be great for worshippers.
As the day develops, Sunday will have partly to mainly sunny skies. By noon, temperatures will rise to the upper 50s, and the afternoon will be seasonal once again, in the low 60s.
If you are doing an Easter egg hunt with the family, watch out for some wet areas.
The Pinpoint Weather team expects most of the snow from Friday and Saturday to melt by Easter; however, if your egg hunt is in the shade and faces north, the grass could still be wet.
Temperatures will continue to warm up on Monday, with highs back in the 70s.

Showers and thunderstorms will be more widespread on Thursday, and will aid in limiting high temperatures to the 60s. Showers and thunderstorms will become more spotty with the heat of the afternoon Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This will allow for a warming trend heading into the weekend.

Annual spill of dam in Boulder expected soon
DENVER (KDVR) — After a good amount of rain along the Front Range in May, the Barker Dam in Boulder is expected to spill over in just a few days. Each year, the Barker Dam fills up as spring brings rainfall and melting snow and eventually spills over. 'Before peak stream flows occur at lower elevations, such as in the city of Boulder, mountain reservoirs must first fill and start spilling over,' the City of Boulder said in a press release. Denver weather: Sunny skies over weekend before showers next week With recent rainfall and increased snowmelt and runoff, the city said on Saturday that the Barker Reservoir is expected to spill over within the next week. The city urges residents and visitors to be cautious near the creek during the high flow period, which could last for several weeks. 'To provide a sense of scale, the volume of water that flows through Middle Boulder Creek each spring could fill the reservoir multiple times,' the city said. The spill is a normal occurrence that increases water flow in Boulder Creek. The city said it typically occurs around mid-May to late June, depending on the weather.
