After a cool and “autumn-like” weekend, this week will feature milder temperatures and lots of sunshine, at least through midweek.

After a warm final day to the weekend, one which Boulder set a record high at 92 degrees, this week is slated to turn much cooler starting this afternoon.

This is all in response to a strong cold front pushing south from Wyoming. With the front also comes the chance of rain and storms but these look to be hit or miss through the week.
