Sunday will bring another round of thunderstorms and gusty winds to the Denver metro, with potential travel delays along I-25 and I-70. Drivers and outdoor plans may face interruptions as storms intensify in the afternoon, bringing heavy rain to already saturated ground.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers will develop over the Front Range Sunday morning before stronger storms form in the afternoon. The main hazards will include pockets of heavy rain, small hail, and wind gusts up to 35 mph. Isolated flooding could impact low-lying roads, and slick conditions may slow traffic on major highways.
Communities from Boulder to Aurora should be prepared for downpours that may briefly reduce visibility. Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and limit unnecessary travel during peak storm hours. Any lingering storms will give way to clearer skies by Sunday night, leading to a sunnier start to the week.
Calmer weather will take over on Monday with highs near 85°F under mostly sunny skies. However, the weather pattern will turn unsettled again by midweek, with another round of showers and isolated thunderstorms expected by Tuesday afternoon.
Fall-like weather continues to build, with daytime highs moderating into the upper 70s and cooler overnight lows expected by midweek. While storms will be less frequent, short-lived downpours remain possible each afternoon until late in the week.
More advisories may be issued if severe storms redevelop, so residents should stay updated on the latest forecasts before commuting or planning outdoor events.
