Highs throughout the week will be above average with only miniscule chances of rain in the Denver area. However, things will become more unsettled for the upcoming weekend with early signs of substantially colder weather taking hold next week and potential freezing temperatures.

Seasonal change is ongoing across Colorado as of early Monday morning with a blustery Pacific storm system plowing across the state.

Happy Labor Day! This week will feature wildfire smoke building back into the region causing visibilities to deteriorate, especially Monday through Wednesday. With the exception of Tuesday, most of the week will see above average temperatures, even potentially record-breaking ones late in the week.
