Denver locals can expect a mix of clouds and sun with a stray shower or thunderstorm for today, with the National Weather Service forecasting a 20% chance of rainfall. The day is set to have mostly calm conditions with a high near 85 degrees, offering a brief respite from the usual heat. The light winds, becoming northeast at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon, should keep things feeling comfortable.
Heading into the evening, according to the National Weather Service, Denver's weather takes a milder turn with the chance of showers and storms dropping before 8 pm, and a low around 58 degrees is expected. The week kicks off with a surge in temperature predicted for Monday, aiming for a high near 87 degrees, and winds shifting from southwest to north throughout the day.
The short-term outlook isn't looking too shabby either. Tuesday will see temperatures soaring to near 88 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Winds could kick up in the afternoon, with gusts as high as 18 mph, adding a bit of drama to an otherwise serene day. The rest of the week offers a consistent pattern according to the weather forecast, with highs happily hanging in the mid to upper 80s and overnight lows comfortably dropping to the mid-50s.
But not all is calm in the Mile High City, as the National Weather Service has also issued a hazardous weather outlook for the region. Isolated showers and storms will continue to be a possibility for most days coming up, with a slightly better chance for rain across the plains on Sunday. While spotter activation is not anticipated today or tonight, residents should stay tuned for updates on potential weather changes.
