Denver, CO – Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to hit the high terrain around Denver today. The storms will bring gusty winds reaching 40 to 50 mph, especially over the Palmer Divide. Residents in the mountain and valley areas should prepare for the storms, although rainfall amounts are expected to remain light.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, Tuesday temperatures will continue to stay above average, with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s across the plains. While rain is expected, conditions will vary across the area, with more showers scattered over mountains and valleys.
The National Weather Service also forecasts that the winds accompanying the storms will be the primary concern, especially for those in elevated areas. Mild to moderate rainfall is expected, providing some relief from the heat but not enough to significantly reduce fire risks.
Residents should remain cautious throughout the day, especially those traveling through higher elevations.
