Denver, Colo. – Sunday brings another round of thunderstorms and gusty winds to the Denver metro, with travel delays possible along I-25 and I-70. Drivers and outdoor plans face interruptions as storms intensify by afternoon, dropping heavy rain on already saturated ground.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers will build over the Front Range Sunday morning before stronger storms develop in the afternoon. The main hazards include pockets of heavy rain, small hail, and wind gusts up to 35 mph. Isolated flooding may impact low-lying roads, while slick conditions could slow traffic on major highways.
Communities stretching from Boulder to Aurora should prepare for downpours that may briefly reduce visibility. Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and limit unnecessary travel during peak storm hours. Any lingering storms Sunday night will give way to clearer skies, setting up a sunnier start to the week.
By Monday, calmer weather takes hold with highs near 85 degrees under mostly sunny skies. However, the pattern turns unsettled again midweek, with another round of showers and isolated thunderstorms possible by Tuesday afternoon.
Fall-like weather continues to build, with daytime highs moderating into the upper 70s and cooler overnight lows expected by midweek. While storms will be less frequent, short-lived downpours remain possible each afternoon until late week.
More advisories may be issued if severe storms redevelop, and residents should check for updates before commuting or planning outdoor events.
