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.
