Today's weather in Denver will be comfortable with a high of 85°F and mostly sunny skies. The wind will be light, coming from the north-northwest and later shifting to the east.

Come Monday, the high is anticipated to linger around 86°F, taking a slight dip on Tuesday to a still-comfortable 81°F, and then climbing back up to nearly 90°F by next Wednesday. Calm winds continue to play a familiar tune, barely stirring up to 5 mph, making conditions ripe for outdoor lunches, evening jogs, or just lounging in the city's various open spaces.
