DENVER — It's official! Denver saw its first triple-digit day of the year, as Denver International Airport hit 100-degrees this afternoon.
A Heat Advisory remains in effect through 9 p.m., and we won't see much relief overnight. Overnight lows will only drop in the upper 60s to low 70s early Tuesday morning.
It'll be a sunny start to your Tuesday around the Denver metro area with highs soaring in the low to mid 90s. Look for increasing clouds in the afternoon with scattered showers and storms racing off the foothills and onto the plains around the dinner hour. These showers will help to cool things off closer to sunset.
By Wednesday, better monsoon moisture will roll into the state helping to fuel more storms and showers across the eastern half of Colorado. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s mid-week, with possible heavy pockets of rain in the afternoon and evening. More widespread rain is likely on Thursday. Enjoy the break from the heat, and the refreshing rain as warmer and drier weather return this weekend.
So far, it looks like daytime highs will skyrocket back into the upper 90s Saturday and Sunday under mostly sunny skies. We'll be tracking another chance of storms starting next week.
