DENVER — FORECAST BY: Meteorologist Chris Bianchi
TODAY AT A GLANCE: We've got a warmer and drier day ahead for the most part, though we'll have a few afternoon showers and storms this afternoon.
Overall though, it's a much warmer day, with highs spiking well into the 70s across the Denver area and eastern Colorado, about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday! Most areas stay dry this afternoon, but keep an umbrella with you if you have outdoor plans today or tonight in case a brief shower or storm pops up.
A weak disturbance moves into the region on Tuesday, which'll mean more widespread showers and storms for tomorrow compared to today. Highs will stay warm though, with a high in the mid-70s in Denver (average high for today: 70°).
A cold front then swings through Colorado on Wednesday morning, which will bring in clouds and showers for most of Wednesday. It'll also be much cooler, with highs likely struggling to hit 60 degrees. If we clear things out for a bit, we could have a few stronger showers and storms on Wednesday afternoon, but it's looking mainly just gray and showery.
Leftover showers and storms hang around for Thursday, but we'll start to warm back up again and with notably lower odds for rain than Wednesday.
A ridge of high pressure moves in for the end of the week, which likely means we'll be in the low 80s for Friday and Saturday with only isolated storms around both days.
Enjoy the warmer weather this week and just keep that umbrella handy most days this week in case of an afternoon shower or storm!
