The middle of August is typically one of the hottest times of the year, so Monday was a welcome break from the usual hot stuff! The morning low in Denver dipped into the upper 40s for the first time in two months. Many mountain locations reported readings in the upper 30s.
A few scattered storms and showers will be ending over the southwestern corner of the state. Eastern Colorado will stay dry tonight and will not see much precipitation all week long.
Skies will be mainly clear early Tuesday with lows falling to the 50s across the Front Range and eastern plains. Mountain lows will again drop into the upper 30s to middle 40s by early Tuesday.
A hotter weather pattern will cover Colorado Tuesday afternoon through Friday, with highs returning to the 90s at lower elevations and upper 70s to mid-80 in the mountains.
There will be a slight chance for afternoon and evening thunderstorms - mainly over the mountains.
