Denver weather today is looking fantastic—mostly sunny skies and a high near 77°F with just a gentle 8 mph west wind. This is another above-average day courtesy of an upper-level ridge, so if you’re planning to catch the Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves at Coors Field this evening, you’ll have ideal conditions. Grab a Colorado Rockies jersey or Colorado Rockies fitted cap to show your support, and you can Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still looking for a seat. Tailgating along the Blake Street corridor will be pleasant with temperatures in the mid-70s and virtually no rain expected (only 8% chance).
If you’re heading to Red Rocks, Washington Park, or anywhere along the South Platte, Sunday is your day to be outside. The pollen count is elevated this time of year, so if you’re sensitive, grab an allergy relief nasal spray and eye drops for allergy itch relief before heading out. Golfers should take advantage—conditions are nearly perfect for a round, and you can check out our guide on the best golf balls for high handicappers in 2026 if you’re looking to upgrade your bag.
Here’s where it gets interesting: the National Weather Service is tracking a significant weather system arriving Monday night through Wednesday. High-based showers are possible Monday afternoon (around 50% chance after noon), with temperatures only reaching 73°F and gusty winds up to 16 mph. But the real story is what happens Monday night into Tuesday and Wednesday.
The National Weather Service forecasters say an upper-level low moving east from California will phase with a jet stream pushing south from Canada, setting up favorable conditions for measurable precipitation across our region. The mountains are looking at significant snowfall accumulations (70% chance)—this could be a major late-season snow event for the I-70 corridor and higher elevations. The plains, including the Denver metro, are seeing increasing chances for accumulating snow Tuesday evening into Wednesday, so don’t put away those winter coats just yet.
Planning ahead: If you have the Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild playoff game on Monday at Ball Arena (indoor, so no weather impact), you’re golden. But if you’re driving up to the mountains or planning outdoor activities Tuesday and Wednesday, check road conditions before you go. An air quality monitor indoor can help you track conditions if snow melt or moisture affects air quality midweek.
For Sunday dinner, take advantage of the beautiful weather—fire up the grill for something simple like grilled chicken or fish. You can order groceries on Amazon and grab everything you need delivered to your door, including fresh vegetables and your favorite proteins, so you’re ready to cook tonight.
Next few days: Mostly cloudy Sunday night with lows near 49°F. Monday brings increasing clouds and that afternoon shower chance. Then buckle up for an active stretch Tuesday and Wednesday with rain and snow—especially significant snow in the mountains. Stay tuned for updates as this system gets closer.
