Monday is expected to be very hot in metro Denver, with a high of about 99 degrees under mostly sunny skies following a partly cloudy weekend, the National Weather Service said.
Breezy conditions are expected Monday afternoon and temperatures will drop to an overnight low of about 57 degrees, according to the weather service. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph overnight.
The Eastern Plains will see record heat, according to the National Weather Service. Skies may be smoky across the state due to a wildfire in Arizona.
Can we just skip this Monday and go to Tuesday? Because the weather today will be terrible. Record heat, strong winds, very dry conditions, and smoky/hazy skies. 0/10 do not want.
