Denver, Colorado – Morning fog and low clouds gave the Denver metro area a gray start Monday, but skies are expected to clear, making way for warmer temperatures and a growing chance of afternoon storms.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will develop across the Front Range and northeastern plains later today, especially between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Some storms may produce brief downpours, small hail, and gusty winds. Highs will reach the low to mid-70s across Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins — near seasonal averages.
Drivers along I-25 and U.S. 36 should watch for reduced visibility early due to patchy fog, with wet roads possible later from convective showers. Areas like Greeley, Longmont, and Castle Rock could see brief heavy rain and minor hail accumulations, especially during the evening commute.
While severe weather is not expected, the NWS advises residents to secure loose outdoor items and stay weather-aware this afternoon. Keep cell phones charged and avoid travel during heavy rainfall or hail bursts.
Scattered thunderstorm chances continue into the early evening, tapering off after sunset. Another round of unsettled weather is possible Tuesday, with updated advisories expected by morning.
