Strong winds and scattered showers are expected in Colorado on Sunday with gusts reaching up to 50 mph.

According to weather experts at the National Weather Service, Denver and its surrounding areas may experience scattered thunderstorms throughout Sunday and into Monday. These storms could potentially bring wind gusts of up to 50 mph. As a precaution, the NWS has issued a hazardous weather outlook for the region, warning residents of potential hazards.

In addition to thunderstorms, hazy skies are expected in Colorado due to smoke from wildfires in California. Despite this, the weekend is expected to be sunny and warm, with a chance of “stray storms” according to Denver weather forecasts. This also marks the first snowfall of the season in the Colorado mountains, including several ski areas.

As of Sunday morning, there is a possibility of showers and thunderstorms throughout the Front Range and Eastern Plains. NWS Boulder forecasters have advised people to be cautious while participating in outdoor activities, as wind gusts of up to 50 mph can occur even without a storm directly overhead. This poses a danger to those recreating on open water, as highlighted in a post on X by agency officials.

The threat of severe thunderstorms continues into Monday, particularly in northeast Colorado. These storms could potentially bring strong winds and some moisture. Residents are advised to stay updated on the weather and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
