Denver Weather: Morning Fog Again Plus Wide Range Of Temperatures

DENVER (CBS4) - Just like Tuesday, Wednesday started with widespread fog and freezing drizzle.

Once the fog dissolves, our attention turns to another strong temperature inversion along the Front Range. An inversion refers to temperatures warming with height instead of cooling. The result will be higher elevations south and west of Denver including Castle Rock, Evergreen and Genesee staying warmer than lower elevations farther north and east.

A shift in the wind patterns over Colorado will finally bring a morning without fog on Thursday along with warmer temperatures in the metro area. In fact, Thursday should be our warmest day since February 15 with highs in the lower 40s. Wednesday will be our 11th consecutive day with below normal temperatures in Denver.
