Gusty and dry Monday in Denver, elevated fire concerns across the Plains

Staying warm and dry with more Denver records possible 02:47

A cold front passed through Denver around 11:00 AM on Monday morning. This means temperatures only get cooler throughout the remainder of the day. The temperature was 84 degrees at 10:30 AM and was already down to 77 by 11:00 AM.

84 degrees will likely be the high temperature on Monday in Denver. Temperatures continue dropping with the remainder of Monday spent in the 70s.

Winds will increase behind the front with gusts up to 35 MPH, gradually decrease to 20 MPH by Monday evening. This will lead to elevated fire concerns, but the criteria is not met for red flag warnings to be issued. Still use extreme cautions with any potential spark starting activities as a majority of the Front Range is under a moderate to severe drought.
