Denver, Colo. – Thunderstorms could bring gusty winds and sudden downpours across Colorado this Monday morning, threatening travel along I-25 and mountain passes before calmer weather takes hold midweek. Drivers should prepare for brief heavy rain, slick pavement, and visibility issues through the early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, scattered storms will develop over the mountains before moving east toward the Front Range. While no severe storms are expected, conditions could include small hail and wind gusts up to 40 mph. Commuters across Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins should watch for sudden delays on I-25 and I-70.
Showers remain possible through late Monday night, though chances diminish after midnight. By Tuesday, skies clear with highs near 81 degrees and light winds. Sunshine continues into Wednesday, October 1, ushering in a stretch of warmer and drier conditions just as the new month begins.
This early October calm may not last long. Another disturbance is expected to reach northern Colorado by Friday, sparking unsettled weather across the mountains and northern plains. Until then, residents can expect mild, dry days and crisp, cool nights ideal for outdoor activities.
Warnings remain in effect for mountain travelers through Monday, with safety officials urging drivers to slow down and check conditions before heading into higher elevations.
