​​​​​​DENVER (KDVR) — Temperatures continue to warm for the Sunday with the Denver weather forecast featuring temperatures returning to the 80s for a few days.

Memorial Day will be warm and pleasant with a slight chance for a shower or storm. Rain chances will be slightly higher in the high country, but don’t let that ruin your plans.

Denver weather tonight: Mostly clear

Tranquil weather will be the theme overnight Saturday. Skies across the area will be mostly clear and temperatures will be a touch milder than normal with lows around Denver only falling into the upper 40s to low 50s.

Denver weather tomorrow: Warmer with increasing clouds

Sunday starts with sunny skies, but clouds will increase through the afternoon. Temperatures will be the warmest they’ve been in a little bit with highs expected to reach the middle 80s in the city. A few pop-up showers or storms will be possible in the afternoon, but any rain should be brief, and severe weather is not expected.

Looking ahead: Daily rain chances next week

Memorial Day will again be in the middle 80s and likely the warmest day of the week. There will be another opportunity for some afternoon showers or storms, but the highest likelihood will remain in the high country. Dry weather will return overnight Monday.

The final week of May features daily opportunities for showers and storms. The mid-week sees the best chance for scattered showers and storms, particularly in the high country where it’s needed the most. Temperatures will hold steady in the upper 70s, slightly above normal.

After a promising start to his Seattle Seahawks career, injuries plagued veteran edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu for two seasons.

Bump has his eye on 2 players as Seattle Seahawks begin OTAs

Nwosu played just six games apiece during the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. But this past season, the Seahawks finally got a healthy version of the USC product again.

The 29-year-old Nwosu returned from offseason knee surgery in Week 2 and didn’t miss a game the rest of the way through their run to a Super Bowl title. He finished the regular season with seven sacks, seven tackles for loss and 46 total pressures in 16 games. And in the Super Bowl, he got to cap his bounce-back year with a moment he’ll never forget, returning a interception 45 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point on Seattle’s 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots.

Nwosu’s year was a positive sign after two lost seasons, but former NFL wide receiver Michael Bumpus is hoping to see even more from the veteran in 2026.

“With the departure of Boye Mafe (in free agency), you need a guy like Uchenna Nwosu just to get back to who he is,” Bumpus said Friday during his Four Down Territory segment on Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy. “He didn’t have a bad season at all, not at all. But I didn’t feel the impact that we’re used to having with Uchenna Nwosu. So I’m looking at Uchenna and just that defensive line, that box in general. If you can get a veteran like Uchenna and Dante (Fowler Jr.) to step it up one more notch and hold things down, I like where this defense is going to go.”

What Bumpus is hoping to see from Nwosu is something closer to his breakout first year with Seattle in 2022. In 17 games that season, Nwosu produced 12 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. His 61 pressures were also the 16th most of any defender league-wide, per Pro Football Focus.

“He has it in him,” Bumpus said. “… That’s the guy that we need. He’s 29 years old, he’s still young. I think he’s capable. If he has a good offseason (and) comes back healthy, I think Uchenna is primed for a good year. “

A landscaper, who police say a pair of teen shooters fired at near the Islamic Center of San Diego following Monday’s attack that left three dead, issued a statement through his attorney Saturday, saying he considers himself to be “the luckiest guy on the planet” to survive the rampage.

“If not for my helmet, I would probably not be alive today,” 52-year-old Tafu Letuli said in a statement from his lawyer Jerry Suppa.

Police said Caleb Vazquez, 18, and Cain Lee Clark, 17, arrived at the Islamic Center of San Diego about 11:43 a.m. Monday, armed and wearing camouflage. They killed a security guard during a gunbattle, then cornered and killed two congregants before fleeing. They shot at a Letuli a few blocks away on Salerno Street, then drove a few more blocks before stopping in the middle of the road and killing themselves, according to police.

The attorney’s statement said Letuli was fired upon “five or six times” and struck once, in the center of his fiberglass helmet, which shattered, and left him bleeding from his forehead.

Letuli was treated at the scene and later treated and examined at an emergency room near his home.

“Every time I think about what happened, a strange feeling triggers a flood of emotions,” Letuli said. “I feel fortunate and sad, all at the same time. I keep asking myself, ‘why me, why me, I’m just a tree trimmer.”

The statement went on to say that Letuli’s heart goes out to the victims and their families.

Bullying, rejection, concerning behavior cited in documents linked to mosque shooting suspects

Some 5,000 people across the region gathered Thursday for a Janazah prayer service at a park next to Snapdragon Stadium in Mission Valley to remember Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha and Nadir Awad.

Abdullah, 51, the security guard at the Clairemont center, engaged in a gunbattle with the teens and used his radio to call for a lockdown, sounding a warning that helped those inside reach safety.

Kaziha, 78, had been a part of the center since it began and worked in the mosque’s store, while 57-year-old Awad lived across the street and prayed daily at the center. His wife taught school there. Mosque members have hailed the three as heroes and martyrs.

Authorities, including the San Diego Police Department and the FBI, are investigating the shootings as a hate crime.

Statement from Letuli and his family

The following is the full statement issued from Letuli’s attorney:

A statement from Letuli, and his family, provided through his attorney, Jerry Suppa, acknowledged that he is going to recover from being shot at five or six times, by his assailants, Cain Lee Clark, and Caleb Vasquez, the shooters at the Islamic Center this past Monday.

Letuli was struck by one of the bullets in the center of his arbors helmet and was injured by bullet fragments that shattered his fiberglass helmet. He was bleeding from his forehead, blood ran down his face, from his upper forehead just above the hairline, then to his chin. His injuries were treated at the scene, and later Letuli was treated and examined at the emergency room at a hospital near his home.

Although traumatized by the ordeal, Letuli considers himself to be “the luckiest guy on the planet,” he said. He stated that his heart goes out to the victims, and their families. At 52 years old, he truly understands and realizes how he was literally inches away from meeting a horrible end to his life.

“If not for my helmet, I would probably not be alive today,” he said.

Jerry Suppa stated that Elizabeth Nelson, the victim health specialist at the FBI headquarters in Sorrento Valley, and other mental health professionals, have really been helpful in reaching out to him. After being under fire in a combat-like situation, and living to talk about it, Letuli wants everyone to know that he gives “Thanks to God for protecting him,” Suppa said.

Tafu said “every time I think about what happened, a strange feeling triggers a flood of emotions. I feel fortunate and sad, all at the same time. I keep asking myself “why me, why me, I’m just a tree trimmer?”

Suppa said that after things settle down, Letuli will be in better shape to share his experience with others.
