DENVER — The summer heat is holding on into mid-September!
Look for isolated showers and storms in the mountains, foothills and a few in the Denver metro. They'll bring gusty winds, a brief sprinkle and a rumble of thunder. Skies will gradually clear after 9pm when most of the moisture moves out of the state.
It'll be a sunny start to your Tuesday with temperatures warming up fast...again! Daytime highs will skyrocket into the lower-90s by the late afternoon.
A few gusty thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon and early evening around the Denver metro area, but we're not looking at any severe weather for the state.
On Wednesday, the ridge will shift east, and a large trough will move in from the west. This will increase the chances for showers and thunderstorms, not only across the higher terrain but in Denver too. The best chance for rain will be between 2pm and 8pm around the city.
This system moves out fast as dry, sunny and hot conditions return Thursday. The winds will kick up a bit, increasing fire danger across eastern Colorado. Temperatures will warm into the lower 90s Thursday and Friday.
We'll dial back temperatures just a bit for the weekend with highs in the mid to upper 80s Saturday and Sunday. A few afternoon storms are possible Sunday and into Monday of next week.
Long range models show much cooler temperatures on the way for late next week. It may actually feel like fall soon!
