The National Weather Service in Denver has issued a hazardous weather outlook that encompasses northeast and north central Colorado, including the Denver metro area. According to the latest bulletin, strong to severe storms are expected to impact the I-25 corridor and the eastern plains later today. The primary risks with these systems are projected to be large hail and potentially damaging wind gusts. A small chance persists for severe storms to re-emerge overnight, primarily targeted at the far eastern plains between 2-6 AM.
According to the National Weather Service, the current weather conditions in Denver show an overcast sky with temperatures hovering around 60°F and a humidity level of 82%. Winds are coming in from the north at 10 mph, though later today, they're expected to shift, originating from the east southeast. Denverites should brace for a 30% chance of precipitation and possible thunderstorms, especially after noon.

Tuesday's forecast predicts a mostly sunny day with a high near 91°F, while Wednesday promises clear skies and temperatures creeping up to around 93°F.
