DENVER — Tonight will be fairly quiet across the area, with temperatures cooling off a bit compared to recent days. A few showers may linger around the mountains, but most lower elevations should stay dry. Any showers that do move onto the plains could bring a few gusty winds.
Sunday will be a big warm-up, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s along the Front Range and I-25 Corridor. It’ll be the warmest day of the week, although a few areas farther northeast could stay a little cooler because of lingering clouds and moisture.
By Sunday afternoon and evening, a few high-based showers and weak storms could develop and move off the mountains. Rain may be limited, but the bigger concern will be gusty winds, with some stronger showers capable of producing gusts around 40 to 50 mph.
The weather turns more unsettled next week as moisture increases across Colorado. Temperatures will cool off by Tuesday, with highs generally in the mid-70s to low 80s across the lower elevations and cooler conditions in the mountains. Tuesday currently looks like the best chance for locally heavy rain, although Wednesday and Thursday could stay wet and stormy as well.
Overall, enjoy the warmth on Sunday because the pattern changes quickly after that. Cooler, wetter weather is expected for much of next week, with the potential for some heavier rainfall in spots. Looking farther ahead, there are signs of drier and quieter weather returning next weekend.
