There was a 41 mph gust Denver Int'l Airport a few mins ago, and a special weather statement for up to 50 mph winds downtown. That could’ve prompted the delay, but it wasn’t lightning. Again, I’m a bit unsure myself. #COwx

🌤️ Mostly sunny and a bit cooler, with a high in the upper 80s in Denver. Only a very slim 10% chance for a gusty PM shower. 🌡️ Drier and hotter tomorrow and all of next week, with highs in the mid-to-upper 90s through at least Thursday and no meaningful rain chances. #COwx

Denver highs of 97°+ for 5 straight days is highly unusual: we’ve only done that 11 times in recorded history (since 1872). That’s the 9NEWS Denver forecast for this week. #COwx

🌡️ Scorching with a high near 97° in Denver today (record: 102°), and it’ll stay dry in Denver. A few isolated stronger storms north/east of Limon. 🌤️ It’ll stay hot and dry all week with highs in the upper 90s through Friday, with no meaningful Denver rain chances. #COwx

Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for the northeast plains until 10p tonight, where we're going to have a few rowdy storms tonight. Hail/wind/limited tornado threat, mainly east of Fort Morgan/Limon. #COwx

Smoky skies over Denver this evening. It's a mix of smoke from Western Slope/Arizona/Utah wildfires, but looks (based off of satellite) like it's mainly from the Elk Fire near Meeker. #COwx

6:10p: Baseball-size hail with this storm heading towards I-70 near Arriba (Lincoln County) Avoid I-70 if you’re in the path of this storm! #COwx

8:45p: Brief burst of gusty winds moving in from the northeast across the metro area. Brief 50 mph gusts possible as this moves through over the next hour! No rain/storms coming from this. #COwx

Whoa! Dew points just jumped 25° in 17 minutes (37° to 62°) at DIA just now as that boundary moved through. Incredible! That outflow boundary just pulled in some Gulf moisture from the east. #COwx

There's no official Denver for a heat wave, so I'll offer up my suggestion: 3 straight days at 95°+ We only average 16 days per year at 95°+ (46 at 90°+). Rare, but not unheard of. Heat wave. And no doubt this week will qualify as a Denver heat wave. #COwx
