Heat Safety

Hot temperatures will continue today and through the middle of this coming week. For today, gusty sudden microburst winds will be possible from virga or sprinkles, so be careful if recreating on the water as sudden bursts of wind will be possible this afternoon. An isolated strong storm or two will be possible along/east of a Sterling to Akron line late this afternoon and tonight. Remember to stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor activities during this early season heat!

A few severe storms will be possible across northeast Colorado late Monday afternoon through the evening. Isolated to scattered storms are expected to develop along the I-25 Corridor by mid to late afternoon, and then intensify as they move east and northeast across the plains. Very large hail will be the main threat from any severe storms, although some high wind and brief tornado threats also exist. Stay weather aware late Monday.

Hot temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds on Tuesday afternoon will result in an environment favorable for rapid fire spread over the plains of northeastern Colorado, including the Denver metro area and I-25 corridor. Exercise fire safety precautions!
