DENVER — Colorado will be feeling the heat for a few more days as highs jump back into the mid to upper 90s around the Denver metro Tuesday afternoon. By mid-week, look for more rain and much cooler temperatures!

Look for a few isolated storms along the Eastern Plains this evening as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for the far eastern counties of Colorado until 11p.m. Otherwise, partly cloudy and hazy skies for much of the Interstate 25 corridor. Temperatures will drop into the low to mid 60s overnight.
We're expecting a very similar day on Tuesday as daytime highs will soar into the mid to upper 90s during the afternoon. The Denver metro area will see a slight chance of an isolated gusty thunderstorm, but most of the rain stays in the mountains.
While a lot of the wildfire smoke moved out of the state, the Denver metro will still be under an Ozone Action Day through Tuesday afternoon with the heat and light winds causing high levels of ozone.
Big changes arrive Wednesday as more monsoon moisture moves into the Front Range. Highs will stay in the low 90s but we'll see a better chance of more widespread afternoon and evening storms.
The monsoon rains will likely push into the Denver metro area Thursday, with the potential for localized heavy rain and flooding. Thursday will also be the start of some relief from the heat, with daytime highs only reaching the low 80s in and around Denver.
The cool, wet weather sticks around Friday and continues through the weekend. Look for scattered storms each afternoon and evening. Slightly warmer and drier weather returns early next week.
