DENVER – After setting the record for the second hottest June ever in Denver, it was a seasonal start to the month of July! The metro area saw highs in the upper 80s with just a few brief showers and storms.
Look for partly cloudy skies this evening. A cold front will slide across the state overnight, ushering in slightly cooler temperatures Tuesday. Lows will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s early Tuesday morning and afternoon highs will be in the mid 80s around the Denver metro.
There is a slight risk for severe storms across southeastern Colorado Tuesday. The biggest threats will be for drenching rain, large hail and strong winds. We'll watch for another round of afternoon storms Wednesday along with warmer daytime highs.
Do you have any Fourth of July plans for this Thursday? Whether your grilling or heading to the pool, it's looking like a beautiful afternoon! We'll see mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid-80s.
The mountains can expect highs in the 70s and 80s through the first week of July, with scattered storms possible nearly each afternoon.
