Heads up A great weather weekend is in store for metro Denver, according to the National Weather
Service, with sunny skies and comfortable temperatures. Highs should be in the 60s on Friday, then mid-70s on Saturday and Sunday. The ski areas that remain open will have high temperatures in the 40s but overnight temperatures in the 20s.
