Denver residents can expect to see a mix of sun and clouds with near-record high temperatures kicking off the week, as reported by the National Weather Service. Today, the weather outlook is mostly sunny with highs soaring up near 73 degrees, accompanied by winds that could gust as high as 21 mph. Tonight's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and a low around 37 degrees, providing some respite from the warmth of the day.
Tuesday's forecast continues the sunny streak with a high near 67 degrees, and relatively calm winds from the south southwest. The National Weather Service also noted that a warm and dry pattern is expected to persist throughout the week, including Christmas Day, offering residents a mild holiday. However, the region is set to carefully monitor potential elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions on Monday afternoon in the southern Foothills.
As for the latter part of the week, Denverites can look forward to continued sunny conditions with highs consistently in the mid to upper 60s. Wednesday night will be partly cloudy, with lows dipping to around 42 degrees. The trend of mostly sunny skies will carry over into Christmas Day with similar temperatures forecasted.
Mountain areas, however, might see snow return on Christmas Day, with the chance of snow continuing into Friday and Saturday. According to the Hazardous Weather Outlook, while western Colorado's mountains are to receive heavier snow, the central mountains could see lighter amounts. Despite the festive flurries in the high country, no significant weather disruptions are anticipated for Denver's urban corridor.
