Denver, Colorado – A stretch of hot, dry weather is tightening its grip across Colorado, with temperatures surging toward the upper 90s in the Denver metro and plains through Tuesday. Residents should brace for intensifying heat and heightened fire danger as the week begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, dry conditions will persist for the entire forecast area, with little relief in sight until at least Tuesday night. The Urban Corridor and surrounding plains will see the most dramatic temperature jumps, ranging from 82 to 92 degrees on Sunday and spiking to 99 degrees by Tuesday. Mountain and valley communities can also expect unseasonably warm days, topping out in the mid to upper 80s.
Outdoor workers, travelers, and anyone without air conditioning should take precautions as the heat index rises, especially during afternoon hours. Limit outdoor activity, hydrate often, and avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles. Fire risk remains elevated—use extreme caution with outdoor grilling, campfires, or machinery that could spark.
This pattern of rising heat will persist at least through Tuesday, and the National Weather Service may issue additional advisories if conditions worsen. Stay tuned for updates and be ready to adjust plans if necessary.
