DENVER- Today will stay warm with highs in the 90s across the plains and 70s to 80s in the mountains.

Any storms that develop could produce brief gusty winds, and some haze or smoke may begin to move back into the Front Range overnight.
Monday will be a little hotter with only a few afternoon storms around. The best chances will be along the Front Range, Palmer Divide, and Cheyenne Ridge, but many areas will stay dry. Smoke could also make for hazy skies at times, especially early in the day.
