September 1st 2024.
Today and Monday in Denver and the Front Range, the weather is expected to be quite hot, dry, and hazy. The National Weather Service Boulder has forecasted temperatures to be higher than usual, with the urban areas and plains reaching between 85 and 90 degrees. Meanwhile, in the mountains, temperatures will range from 63 to 78 degrees, according to the experts.
For those planning on spending the Labor Day weekend outdoors, the weather is looking warm and mostly dry. However, for those hoping to catch a glimpse of newborn rattlesnakes at a Colorado "mega den," be aware that these little ones are making their live debut and may be out and about. As we enter the fall season, there are also predictions of spectacular colors to come in the Colorado foliage, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!
While the mountains may experience some isolated thunderstorms, the weather conditions for the holiday on Monday are expected to be similar, with temperatures hovering around 90 degrees in the Front Range and plains. Today, the skies may also appear hazy due to smoke from wildfires in other states that blew into Colorado on Friday. According to the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division's Smoke Blog, the smoke is still lingering, but it should start to dissipate this afternoon as light winds pick up.
Although high ozone warnings were lifted at midnight on Saturday, the smoke blog has reported that moderate levels of particulate matter can still be detected in the air, which may affect those who are especially sensitive.
