Denver, CO – Denver residents should prepare for potentially dangerous weather today as isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon, along with gusty winds. Temperatures will be well above normal, reaching highs in the upper 80s.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, clouds will increase throughout the day, leading to scattered storms later this afternoon. With the storms, strong outflow winds could pose risks for drivers on I-25 and surrounding roads.
Motorists are urged to exercise caution and expect delays, particularly during peak travel times between 4 and 7 p.m. Wind gusts could reach speeds strong enough to cause dangerous conditions, especially on highways. Drivers should secure loose objects and watch for debris while avoiding unnecessary travel during the storm.
If you’re outside, avoid exposed areas and seek shelter immediately at the first sign of severe weather. These storms are expected to last into the evening, tapering off before sunset. Check local weather alerts for updated information throughout the day.
