BOULDER, Colo. — The Memorial Day weather forecast for Colorado and the Denver metro area looks ideal for outdoor plans, especially for the thousands of runners and their supporters at the 2024 BOLDERBoulder race on Monday.
“Mother Nature looks to cooperate with us at least for the first half of the day,” said Denver7 Meteorologist Danielle Grant.
By the start of the first waves, at around 6:45 a.m., temperatures should be in the 50s with sunny skies over Boulder.
Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., skies will remain sunny with temperatures warming to near 60 degrees.
“And then those clouds will start to increase by about 10 a.m. to lunchtime,” added Grant. “By the later afternoon, we potentially will be tracking a few storms.”
Showers should steer clear for most of Bolder Boulder activities with only a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm later during the day.
Monday’s high temp in Boulder will reach near 73 degrees.
