Denver, Colo. – Storms will keep the Front Range unsettled through early next week, with heavy rainfall and a chance of strong thunderstorms posing hazards for travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, scattered thunderstorms will redevelop Sunday afternoon along the I-25 corridor, including Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. A couple of storms could turn severe, producing gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. The threat extends into Monday, when widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely, bringing an even greater chance of flooding downpours.
By Monday night, rain chances remain high across northeast Colorado, including Greeley, Brighton, and Aurora, before slowly tapering midweek. The strongest storms are expected to occur where afternoon temperatures climb into the 80s, providing enough heat to fuel severe development.
Travelers should be prepared for sudden downpours, slick roads, and reduced visibility during evening commutes. Light winds will keep storm cells moving slowly, raising the risk of localized flooding in low-lying and urban areas.
Showers and thunderstorms will linger daily through Friday, with brief breaks of sunshine between systems.
Warnings and advisories may be issued if storms strengthen, especially along the urban corridor and foothill communities.
