After a brief taste of winter and a return of snow, the Denver weather forecast returns to what the metro area has seen all winter - above normal temperatures and dry conditions.

Denver's weather forecast includes sun, high winds, and an incoming snowfall with hazardous travel conditions expected.

Colorado's Elkhead and Park Mountains, along with the West Elk and Sawatch mountains are under Winter Weather Advisories through Friday morning for slick travel and snow accumulations ranging between 3 to 12 inches.

DENVER (KDVR) — Sunny skies in the metro get a little brisk in the afternoon as snow continues to fall in the mountains. Mainly sunny skies are expected for the Front Range and high plains on Monday as temperatures reach the lower 60s. Winds will become brisk through the afternoon and linger into the evening.

Denver's weather will shift from sunny to snowy later this week with a risk of hazardous fire conditions and travel disruptions.

Fire Weather Watch adds extra tension as Denver looks to secure the No. 1 seed with multiple paths to playoff glory.

Denver will have mild conditions for the rest of the afternoon; meanwhile, snow continues through this evening in the northern and central mountains.
