Sizzling 90s for Labor Day in Denver metro

After a gorgeous day, it'll be a nice night along the Front Range. Temperatures will fall into the 70s around 8:00 p.m. under mostly clear skies.

A ridge of high-pressure will dominate the weather patter for much of the western U.S. throughout the holiday weekend. While much of eastern Colorado will stay dry, the high country could see a few isolated storms pop up in the afternoon.

Once again, the winds will pick up and humidity will drop on Monday, raising the risk of fires. Temperatures will be even warmer on Labor Day with highs in the lower 90s along the Urban Corridor.

Next week, it will stay warm and dry, but moisture will slowly increase, which could lead to a few showers or storms in the mountains. By Wednesday, the moisture will spread a bit more, and we might see some showers moving off the mountains and onto the plains. However, it’s unlikely we’ll get significant rain in the plains before Thursday. Temperatures will cool down a bit by Wednesday as a cold front moves through, bringing temperatures back to normal. By the end of the week, the high-pressure system will likely return, bringing warmer and drier conditions into next weekend.
