The National Weather Service in Denver has reported mostly sunny skies today, with highs expected to reach near 72 degrees. Winds could pick up in the afternoon, with potential gusts as high as 21 mph, before transitioning to a light and variable wind later tonight. Partly cloudy conditions will prevail, with lows around a cool 39 degrees.

Looking forward to the week, Denver residents can expect a mix of sunny spells and potential showers. By Tuesday, there’s a 20 percent chance of showers post-noon, but otherwise, skies should remain mostly sunny with highs hovering close to 71 degrees. The pattern of slight chances of precipitation continues into the evening, particularly before 9pm where there is a slight chance of both showers and thunderstorms.

In more pressing concerns, a Red Flag Warning will be in effect this afternoon for the eastern plains, due to low humidity levels and gusty winds fostering critical fire weather conditions. According to the National Weather Service, there is a 30 to 60 percent chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms in the high mountains as well.

For Denver's mid-week forecast, Wednesday brings a 40 percent chance of afternoon showers with high temperatures about 73 degrees. As Thursday arrives, the likelihood of showers increases significantly, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation post-noon. The rest of the week could see scattered showers, mainly after noon on Friday and into the weekend with highs ranging from the mid-50s to the low 70s.
