Denver, Colorado – Thunderstorms and 96-degree heat will dominate Sunday in northeast Colorado, kicking off a volatile week of summer weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, a round of afternoon storms is expected Sunday, June 29, with damaging wind gusts up to 55 mph possible in the far northeast corner of the state. In Denver, skies will turn mostly sunny by late morning, but storms could develop after 3 p.m., especially along the I-70 and I-25 corridors.
Expect Sunday highs to reach near 96°F before storms cool things down. Winds from the southwest may gust up to 18 mph. Monday brings relief with highs in the low 80s and a continued chance of storms in the evening. These shifts are linked to a passing cold front expected to drive cooler, wetter air into the region through midweek.
Residents should limit outdoor activities during peak heat on Sunday and secure loose outdoor items ahead of afternoon gusts. Keep devices charged in case of power outages, and stay off high-elevation trails during storm windows.
