Denver Weather: Brace for 90-degree temperatures as summer weather persists

Sunday could mark the 58th 90-degree day this year.

The high temperature in Denver could hit 90 degrees on Sunday as summer weather hangs on for a few more days. That would be the 58th 90-degree day of the year if it does end up that warm and bring us closer to making the top 5 most of all-time.

Also expect a dry day with a slight haze from wildfire smoke filtering in from the Pacific Northwest.

There will be another round of scattered thunderstorms in the mountains starting in the early afternoon and lasting to about sunset. Rain showers are unlikely in the Denver area but there’s a better chance on the northern Front Range near Fort Collins.

By the middle of next week, a storm system will approach Colorado from the west. That will kick up the wind which isn’t good news with this very warm weather. We will have to keep a close eye on the fire danger by next Wednesday and Thursday.

As that system swipes passed the state on Friday, it will likely drop the temperatures a few degrees with highs possibly in the middle or low 80’s next weekend.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny and very warm with a few mountain showers and storms, high 90. Partly cloudy overnight, low 57.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny and very warm with a few mountain showers and storms, high 92. Partly cloudy overnight, low 60.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy and continued very warm with a few mountain showers and storms, high 90. Mostly clear overnight, low 61.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny and very warm, high 88. Partly cloudy overnight, low 58.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny and windy at times, high 91. Mostly clear overnight, low 56.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny and potentially cooler, high 85. Clouds clearing overnight, low 55.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny and very warm with a few showers in the mountains, high 85. Partly cloudy overnight, low 56.
