Denver, Colo. – A calm September weekend across Colorado will give way to a stormier start next week, with thunderstorms threatening Monday afternoon. Drivers along I-25 through Denver and the northern suburbs should prepare for slick pavement and reduced visibility during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 3 p.m. Monday across the Denver metro. While the system looks scattered, any storm could bring brief downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. Residents are urged to secure outdoor items, monitor forecasts, and allow extra travel time if storms roll in.
Saturday and Sunday will stay warm and dry, with highs reaching the low 80s under mostly sunny skies. Conditions shift Monday as moisture pushes into the Front Range, sparking unsettled weather through midweek. While storms should remain isolated, even a small pocket of heavy rain could impact traffic and outdoor plans.
Tuesday and Wednesday trend clearer, with sunshine returning and highs near 80. The drier pattern continues into Thursday, carrying Denver into the start of October under bright skies and mild afternoons.
For those planning outdoor events, Monday afternoon carries the greatest risk of weather-related disruptions. Keep an eye on changing skies, particularly during the peak of the workday.
More detailed updates are expected as Monday approaches, and additional advisories could be issued if storm coverage expands.
