Showers will wrap up Monday night, followed by clearing clouds. Temperatures will only fall to the upper 50s, which is nearly 10 degrees above normal.

Tuesday will start off with sunshine.

Then, as temperatures climb to the mid-80s, there will be increasing clouds ahead of afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

Thunderstorms will move into the front range around 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., then move east through the evening. Some storms could be strong to severe producing wind gusts up to 60 mph.

In preparation for the storms, it is recommended that residents secure or bring inside loose objects and stay off the water. The area with the largest risk for gusty storms is in northeast Colorado, where the Storm Prediction Center has issued a “slight risk.”
