Denver weather: More hot weather Sunday

​​​​​​DENVER (KDVR) — After officially hitting 90 degrees for the first time this season, the Denver weather forecast features more hot weather Sunday and next week before temperatures begin to moderate.

Dry and breezy conditions will create fire danger concerns for parts of the northeastern plains.

Denver weather tonight: Another mild night

Skies will gradually clear overnight Saturday, but it’s still going to be mild with low temperatures falling into the middle and upper 50s around metro Denver. Some locations elsewhere may only cool to about 60 degrees.

Denver weather tomorrow: Temperatures in the 90s again

Sunday will be another hot day with widespread temperatures again in the 90s. Denver’s record high is 98 degrees, but we’ll stay well short of that. We’ll begin the day sunny, but clouds will steadily increase in the afternoon.

Mostly dry conditions are forecast but a stray pop-up storm may develop. Winds will turn to the northwest with gusts up to 20 miles per hour.

Looking ahead: Hot, breezy, and mostly dry

We start next week with partly sunny conditions and temperatures “cooling” to the upper 80s in the afternoon, still above normal. Gusty winds will persist from the east-southeast. There will be a slightly better chance for isolated storm development in the afternoon.

We’ll jump back to the 90s on Tuesday with wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour or higher possible.

Temperatures start to moderate Wednesday onward, starting with low 90s on Wednesday, then middle 80s Thursday into the weekend, closer to normal.

Overall, the forecast for most of next week looks predominantly dry, but rain chances do return for next weekend.
