Denver is starting Sunday on a crisp note, with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 50s, but the day will warm up quickly. Expect a mostly sunny afternoon with a high near 84F, likely the warmest and driest stretch of the week before afternoon thunderstorms muscle back into the forecast early next week.
Sunny, Warm Sunday
Skies should stay mostly sunny through Sunday, with a light west wind around 8 mph and low humidity, making it a prime window for outdoor plans. Highs will top out near 84F, then slide into the mid-50s overnight. Forecast details are available from the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder.
Storm Risk Monday And Tuesday
A chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms returns Monday, June 1, 2026, and again Tuesday, June 2, 2026, mainly during the afternoon and early evening. Forecasters still place the greatest severe threat east of I-25, roughly from Limon toward Fort Morgan, although timing and precise placement remain a bit fuzzy.

Timing And What To Expect
On Monday, the chance of precipitation sits at about 30 percent, with storms developing after noon. Gusts could reach about 16 mph and a few cells may drop locally heavy rain. Tuesday trends more humid, with roughly a 50 percent chance of afternoon storms and another high in the mid-80s. Keep an eye on updates from the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder as details may shift.
Prepare And Plan
If you have outdoor plans Monday or Tuesday afternoon, stash a compact umbrella and allow extra commute time in case of sudden downpours or brief wind gusts. Sunday is the clear pick of the week for errands, hiking, or patio time. The pattern trends a bit warmer and drier by mid to late week, with highs nudging into the upper 80s. Check local forecasts before heading out and watch for any advisories if you live east of the city.
