DENVER — After a weekend of triple-digit heat, temperatures cooled nicely on Monday, thanks to a passing cold front. The front arrived early in the morning and brought a 25-degree cool down across the Denver area and northeast Colorado.
A few storms will continue to pop up through early tonight with the best chance from Castle Rock south to Pueblo - along the leading edge of the cooler air. Lows tonight will be comfortable with readings in the upper 50s to low 60s for Denver and the northeast plains and in the upper 40s to low 50s in the mountains.
Temperatures will warm back up on Tuesday as the cold front stalls and then reverses field and moves back across northeast Colorado as a warm front. There will be a chance for thunderstorms again on Tuesday with highs near 90 degrees.
Hotter and drier weather can be expected on Wednesday as highs rise back into the mid-to upper 90s for Denver and the eastern plains. Isolated thunderstorms will develop Wednesday afternoon, but most areas will stay dry.
Thursday will also be hot and mostly dry with highs in the mid-upper 90s for lower elevations and in the 70s to low 80s in the mountains.
Another cold front will slip into northern Colorado Friday afternoon, bringing slightly lower temperatures and a better chance for showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the low to mid-90s.
Saturday will be "less hot", but still reach the low 90s. Sunday and next Monday will remain hot and mainly dry.
