Denver, CO – Colorado residents should prepare for a mix of weather conditions this Sunday, including storms and upper-level smoke from Canadian wildfires. Meteorologists predict a significant shift in weather patterns, bringing a variety of elements to the region.
According to the US National Weather Service Denver/Boulder, northerly winds aloft will contribute to increased smoke levels across northeast Colorado on Sunday. This smoke originates mainly from ongoing Canadian wildfires. The model forecast indicates that this smoke will affect not just the surface but also upper layers of the atmosphere.
On Sunday, expect thunderstorms to develop across the region. The storms will bring a range of weather phenomena, including rain, lightning, and potentially strong winds. The National Weather Service has indicated that clear conditions are expected early in the morning, with a higher chance of storms and precipitation in the afternoon and evening.
Temperatures on Sunday are forecasted to reach a high of 76°F, with a low of 59°F. As the week progresses, temperatures are expected to rise, with highs reaching into the 90s by Wednesday and Thursday. Residents should also be aware of fluctuating air quality levels due to the smoke. While the current air quality index remains in the “Good” category, it may deteriorate as smoke from the wildfires drifts into the area.
By mid-week, the weather is expected to stabilize, with mostly sunny conditions and gradually increasing temperatures. However, residents should remain vigilant and stay updated on weather alerts, particularly those related to air quality and storm developments.
