DENVER — Subzero windchills continued across the Denver area early Monday morning, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a cold weather advisory.

Temperatures in Denver dropped to nearly 3 degrees below zero overnight Sunday into Monday, which felt closer to 19 degrees below with windchill, according to data from the weather service.

As of 5:53 a.m., when the city’s temperature was last recorded by the weather service, temperatures had climbed back up to 15 degrees. At that time, the windchill was hovering at 1 degree below zero.

The cold weather advisory for the Denver area, including eastern Boulder County and northern Douglas County, will remain in effect through 9 a.m. Monday.

“Dangerously cold” windchills across metro Denver may cause frostbite or hypothermia, forecasters warned in the advisory.

Patchy, blowing snow is expected across Denver between 10 a.m. and noon Monday, but no additional accumulation is expected, according to weather service forecasters.

Roughly 1.3 inches of snow fell at Denver International Airport during Sunday’s storm, according to the weather service.

After several days of frigid cold, Denver is expected to see temperatures climb above freezing by 11 a.m. Monday, according to hourly forecasts from the weather service. The windchill will pass the freezing point closer to 1 p.m., but subzero windchills are expected to subside around 9 a.m., according to the forecast.
