Denver is preparing for potentially severe weather on Tuesday, as a weak cold front is expected to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the area. Strong gusts of wind ranging from 30-40 mph, with stronger gusts possible, may heighten wildfire concerns from the foothills to the eastern plains. There is also a risk of larger hail over the northeastern plains extending into Nebraska. Temperatures will be in the 80s to near 90 degrees in Denver and the eastern plains, while the mountains and western valleys will experience cooler temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be dry with highs in the 80s for lower elevations and 60s to low-70s in the mountains. However, another cold front is projected to approach the state beginning on Friday, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over western Colorado. Denver will still have highs in the low-80s on Friday, but cooler weather will arrive over the weekend. Showers are likely on Saturday, with temperatures in the 70s for lower elevations and 50s in the mountains. Although skies will clear on Sunday, temperatures will remain cool. Additionally, autumn is set to begin on Sunday at 6:43 a.m.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather conditions and be prepared for possible severe storms on Tuesday, followed by cooler weather and showers over the weekend. Stay connected to Denver7 for live weather updates.
