Forecast Denver is the definitive portal for the Mile High City's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear across the ten counties of the Denver metro, from downtown and the north metro south to Castle Rock, east onto the plains at Elizabeth and Kiowa, and west up I-70 and US-285 to Idaho Springs, Georgetown and South Park.
Denver sits a mile up where the Great Plains run into the Rockies, and its weather comes from that wall. An east wind drives upslope snow against the foothills; a west wind drops off them as a chinook that can melt a foot of it in an afternoon, or as the downslope gale that carried the Marshall Fire. Summer storms fire over the Palmer Divide and drop some of the largest hail in the country on the metro. Forecast Denver is being built to tell that story — county by county, corridor by corridor.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. As a metro site its hero is the ten-county grid, in a Front Range alpenglow accent for the sunset light on the peaks west of town, on thin mile-high sky blue — its own note in the network.
Forecast Denver is the metro zoom-in for Forecast Colorado. The two are companions — the city and the state — and both are part of the wider Forecast network.
