NEAR RECORD HEAT!
Today will be the warmest day of the summer so far with temperatures potentially reaching or exceeding 100 degrees over the plains with 80’s and lower 90’s in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 91 degrees and the record high is 102. NWS has issued a Heat Advisory from 10am to 8pm for the I-25 corridor due to the above normal temperatures today.

Conditions will be dry with plenty of sunshine and S/SE winds of 5-15mph. Relative humidity values will drop to around 10%. Overnight lows will be warm, only falling into the mid 60’s to around 70 over the plains with continued dry conditions.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation today or tonight.

A LOOK AHEAD: Another hot day on Tuesday but temperatures will back off a few degrees with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 90's. There will be a build-up of clouds late in the afternoon over the mountains and an isolated high-based shower or weak thunderstorm is possible, but most areas will continue to be dry for one more day or experience just a gusty sprinkle. Better chances for afternoon/evening thunderstorms return to the forecast on Wednesday with widely scattered storms and temperatures at or slightly below normal for the date.
