Colorado Front Range Records Heat Then Cools With Storm Chances

A shift to lower highs and a greater chance of afternoon storms eases immediate risk as forecasters warn triple‑digit heat could return next weekend.

Overview

  • Multiple Front Range cities set new daily highs during the late‑July weekend, with Denver reaching 101°F and Boulder and Fort Collins hitting 100°F and 101°F respectively, according to the National Weather Service.
  • The NWS issued Heat Advisories for much of the state during the peak period and warned of heat‑related illness symptoms to watch for and precautions to take.
  • Temperatures moderated by Monday into the low‑to‑mid 90s with a better chance of afternoon storms and showers through midweek, reducing immediate strain on people, pets and pavement.
  • Denver recorded one of its warmest mornings on record with a low near 76°F between Sunday night and Monday morning, keeping nighttime relief limited for residents.
  • Forecasters said triple‑digit heat could return by the coming weekend, and the coverage notes Denver has logged more than a century of 100°F readings and Colorado’s statewide record remains 115°F from 2019.
