Denver is expected to see showers Monday afternoon and evening, with unsettled weather continuing into the week. Rain chances continue into Thursday before decreasing, with Wednesday carrying the biggest concern for heavy rain and localized flash flooding.
The National Weather Service Denver/Boulder office expects Monday showers to produce amounts from a few hundredths to around half an inch, with some later storms possibly exceeding an inch. South to southeast winds at KDEN and KAPA are forecast to gust to around 20–25 knots.
Monday Showers Give Way To A Stormier Tuesday
Rain showers become more likely Monday night, with a 60% chance and a low near 56 degrees. A cold front will bring slightly cooler temperatures Tuesday, and heavier precipitation is possible Tuesday morning.
Wednesday is expected to bring showers and storms, with the greatest concern of the stretch for heavy rain and localized flash flooding.
Heaviest Rain Risk Favors Denver’s Southeast
The forecast discussion says the heaviest rain may set up south and east of Denver, though the exact location remains uncertain. Some parts of the broader region could see more than an inch of rain Wednesday, while repeated downpours could create localized flooding even outside the main heavy-rain corridor.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Denver forecast area. Drivers and pedestrians should still expect wet roads and sudden downpours from Monday afternoon through Wednesday, especially during stronger showers and storms.
Sunshine Returns For A Warm Weekend
Rain chances decrease Thursday, with warmer and drier conditions expected for the weekend.
Higher mountain elevations above 12,000 feet could see a dusting of snow from Tuesday through Thursday, but Denver itself is looking at rain rather than a winter preview. For now, an umbrella and a little schedule flexibility should cover the city's week ahead.
