Denver, CO – A heatwave will grip the Denver area on Sunday, with temperatures soaring to 90°F. The unseasonably hot weather will continue into the week, bringing sunny skies through Wednesday. Residents should prepare for persistent heat, as forecasts predict highs of 88°F on Monday and 87°F on Wednesday, with little relief overnight.
According to the National Weather Service, winds will be light, but gusts could reach 16 mph Sunday afternoon, increasing the risk of wildfires, especially in the foothills and rural areas.
