As Denver residents welcome a sunny day with highs reaching 70 degrees, the National Weather Service in Denver issues a hazardous weather outlook for parts of Colorado, indicating that today, the far northeast plains may experience elevated fire conditions due to breezy winds and low humidity levels. While the rest of the area will stay relatively calm with cooler temperatures.
Looking ahead, above normal temperatures and dry conditions are expected to prevail throughout the week, with breezy conditions at times leading to elevated and potentially critical fire weather conditions especially across the plains, foothills, and South Park, a fire weather watch is in effect for these regions come Saturday afternoon, as temperatures are forecasted to soar into the 80s across the plains making it likely the warmest day of the week.
For Denver proper and surrounding areas, today brings mostly clear skies with continued sun and a high near 70, and residents can expect a low around 41 tonight with light variable winds calming down in the evening, according to the National Weather Service.
Spotters, often relied on for real-time updates and verification of weather conditions, will not be activated today or tonight which means, the community should still keep an eye out for any changes, especially those in vulnerable areas where fire risks are an ongoing concern, even though for most of the region, it presents a time to enjoy the outdoors before a 30 percent chance of showers rolls in on Sunday afternoon.
