The metro area is expected to be warm again on Sunday, setting the pace for the rest of the week.
The weekend should end with a high in the low 90s as storms stay north and east of Denver, National Weather Service meteorologist Russell Danielson said.
Several severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for northeastern Colorado Sunday, threatening quarter-size hail and 60 mph wind gusts. The storms are expected to pull into the Denver urban corridor Monday, bringing with them a 30 to 40 percent chance of storms. The high is expected to hang around 75 degrees, he said.
Tuesday has a 30 percent chance of storms and a high that should be around 78 degrees, Danielson said. There’s a possibility for more showers Wednesday when the high is expected to be around 84 degrees.
Temperatures should warm back up into the lower 90s on Thursday and Friday, which should both be sunny days, he said.
So far this year the metro area has seen 4.5 inches of rain, which is .5 inches below normal, Danielson said.
