Summer weather in Denver is hanging on for a few more days, with temperatures expected to hit 90 degrees on Sunday. This could mark the 58th 90-degree day of the year, bringing the city closer to making the top 5 most of all time. A dry day is expected, with a slight haze from wildfire smoke drifting in from the Pacific Northwest.
Scattered thunderstorms are forecasted in the mountains in the early afternoon until sunset, with rain showers unlikely in the Denver area but a better chance near Fort Collins. By the middle of next week, a storm system approaching from the west will increase wind speeds, raising concerns for fire danger.
As the system moves through on Friday, temperatures are expected to drop a few degrees, with highs possibly in the low 80s next weekend. The week ahead includes mostly sunny and very warm conditions, with the possibility of mountain showers and storms each day.
Overall, Denver can expect a mix of sun and clouds, warm temperatures, and the potential for windy conditions in the coming days. Residents are advised to stay updated on the weather forecasts and be cautious of fire risks with the combination of warm weather and increased winds.
