DENVER- Starting tonight, its going to stay warm and dry, and the wind will be picking up a bitso fire danger will stay pretty high through this evening. If youve got plans to be outside, just be cautious with anything that coul
d spark. Its been a hot one today, and we actually broke our record afternoon high by reaching 86 degrees. Even after sunset, itll still feel pretty mild thanks to those warm southwest winds. Tomorrow (Sunday) starts off warm again, but well start to notice some changes as the day goes on. By the afternoon, theres a good chance of scattered showers popping up, mostly in the mountains at first. Some of that rain could drift down into the Denver area by late afternoon, but its not looking like a total rain-out. Temps will be a bit cooler than today, especially with cooler air sneaking in early. Sunday night is when things really start to shift. A weather system will move in, bringing a better shot at some rain for most of the area. If youre in the foothills or along the Palmer Divide, youll probably see more steady showers, and maybe even hear a rumble of thunder. Most of it will stay as rain, but if it gets heavy and cold enough for a short stretch, theres a slight chance for a rain/snow mix in a few spots. Higher up in the mountains, 2 to 5 inches of snow are expected, so travel up there could get slick by Monday morning.Monday will feel a lot cooler behind that front. Well be down in the upper 50s across the plains, with colder temps in the foothills and mountains. Itll still be a bit breezy, but its a big change from the summer-like weather weve had. Definitely a day where youll want a light jacket handy.By Tuesday, we start to dry out and warm back up again. Sunshine will return for most of the day, though there might be a few showers in the mountains during the afternoon. Down in the lower elevations, it should stay mostly dry. Looking ahead to later next week, its starting to look more active again, with chances for more mountain snow and some possible rain down lowersomething to keep an eye on.DENVER WEATHER LINKS: Hourly forecast | Radars | Traffic | Weather Page | 24/7 Weather Stream Click here to watch the Denver7 live weather stream. ...read more read less
