Denver, CO – Colorado residents should prepare for a weekend of intense heat, especially across the Plains and Urban Corridor, where temperatures are expected to soar close to 100°F. The National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder has forecasted a high of 97°F for Denver today, with surrounding areas experiencing similar conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, most of the region will remain dry, but those in the mountains might see some scattered high-based showers later in the evening. These showers are expected to dissipate as they move into the urban corridor due to the dry conditions, though gusty winds may accompany the decaying showers.
Looking ahead, the heat will persist into Sunday, with temperatures slightly cooler but still reaching the low 90s. Monday is expected to bring a brief respite from the extreme heat with highs in the upper 80s, but the heat will return midweek, with temperatures climbing back into the low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor exposure during peak heat hours, and keep an eye on the skies if in mountainous regions where evening showers could bring unpredictable winds. The National Weather Service will continue to monitor conditions, particularly any potential shifts in the forecast that could bring more significant weather changes.
Stay tuned for updates as the week progresses and the weather patterns evolve.
