DENVER (KDVR) — It’s Thursday afternoon, and residents of Denver and most of the state have been dealing with temperatures in the teens or lower for more than two days and below-freezing temperatures for more than 60 hours.
So when will the pattern change? We’re warming up slightly Thursday and Friday, but the Pinpoint Weather Team says we likely won’t break 32 degrees until early Saturday afternoon.
Yes, that means about 48 more hours of frigid temps, getting us beyond 100 hours and around 114 total that the team forecasted late last week.
The good thing is that the warming trend continues, and by early next week temperatures will approach and surpass 60 degrees.

| Date | High | Low |
| Sunday, Feb. 20 | 63 | 33 |
| Monday, Feb. 21 | 55 | 2 |
