DENVER — It feels more like summer for the first weekend of October! Afternoon highs reached the low 80s for Saturday and will also be in the 80s for Sunday.
Watch Denver7 Meteorologist Danielle Grant's forecast video below:
A warm and mostly dry stretch of weather is taking over Colorado this weekend, but a quick shot of wind will bring a brief fire-weather concern Saturday afternoon.
Sunday brings an ever so slight cool off in temperatures behind the front, but it will still feel warmer than normal. Most of the Denver metro area and eastern plains should land in the upper 70s to low 80s. A stray shower or storm is possible in the High Country, but most areas will stay dry.
We'll be tracking another near record-breaking warm up on Monday! Denver is currently forecast to hit 87 degrees, which could put us at a record high tie. The current daily record stands at 87, last set in 2024. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 80s across much of the plains, with Greeley potentially nearing 90 degrees.
A weak disturbance will move across Colorado Tuesday, bringing a better chance for a few high-country showers or weak storms. The focus will be on the central mountains, including Clear Creek and Summit counties, where they will see the best rain chances. Most of the plains will remain quite dry, but a few showers could try to sneak toward the Palmer Divide.
After that, the forecast turns remarkably quiet...again. Upper-level ridging is expected to settle back in Wednesday through Friday, keeping temperatures above normal in the low to mid 80s. For now, soak in the warm, dry and increasingly summer-like stretch of weather that will continue well into next week.
