Denver, CO – The workweek will begin on a mild and pleasant note across the Denver metro area, with sunshine and warmer-than-average temperatures expected on Monday before a more active pattern arrives later in the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, Monday will bring dry conditions and mild temperatures, with highs across Denver and the urban corridor climbing into the mid to upper 50s, and some locations approaching 60 degrees by the afternoon. Overnight lows will remain seasonably cool, but daytime conditions should feel comfortable for mid-December.
Forecasters say similar conditions will continue into Tuesday, with highs again reaching the upper 50s to low 60s across the plains and urban corridor. Mountain and valley communities will remain cooler, with daytime highs mainly in the 30s to 40s.
While Monday and Tuesday look quiet, residents are encouraged to enjoy the calm weather ahead of midweek changes. By Wednesday, weather conditions are expected to shift as strengthening winds develop across the Front Range. These winds could elevate fire weather concerns, particularly in dry areas with dormant vegetation.
In addition, the National Weather Service notes that mountain snowfall becomes more likely by Wednesday, especially in higher elevations, which could impact travel along mountain passes and highways. Plains and urban areas may see increasing cloud cover and gusty winds, but widespread precipitation is not expected at lower elevations at this time.
For Monday, travel conditions across Denver and surrounding areas are expected to be favorable, with dry roads and good visibility. Residents planning outdoor activities, errands, or commuting should find the weather cooperative.
