Denver weather today brings mostly sunny skies with a high near 62°F and a slight 20% chance of rain showers after noon, making it a decent day to get outside before the weekend warms up significantly.
The National Weather Service notes that dry air is moving in from the north as the day progresses, so any rain chances remain quite low across the plains. Light north-northeast winds at 3 to 7 mph won’t cause any travel issues on I-25 or the highways heading toward the mountains. If you’re planning to catch the Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves game at Coors Field this evening, you’ll have decent conditions—bring a packable rain jacket just in case, and grab a Colorado Rockies jersey or Colorado Rockies fitted cap to show your support. For tickets, check out Find tickets on StubHub or Get tickets on SeatGeek.
Tonight will be mostly clear with a low around 38°F, so if you’re heading to any of tonight’s concerts—Black Veil Brides: North American Tour 2026 at Fillmore Auditorium, Sevendust One Tour at Summit Music Hall, or Stayin’ Alive: One Night of the Bee Gees at Paramount Theatre—you won’t need heavy layers, though a light jacket makes sense as temperatures dip.
The real story is this weekend. Saturday and Sunday look absolutely gorgeous, with highs climbing to 71°F on Saturday and 74°F on Sunday under sunny skies—perfect for hiking around Bear Mountain, catching the Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves games at Coors Field on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, or enjoying outdoor activities across the metro. If you’re planning a tailgate or picnic, Saturday afternoon at Mile High will be excellent for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Empower Field, and the West Conf Qtrs: Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets Rd 1 Hm Gm 4 at Ball Arena on Saturday will have ideal conditions for parking-lot activities.
Unsettled weather returns Monday night through Wednesday, so the National Weather Service forecasters are calling this a brief window of stability. Make the most of it.
Today’s a perfect day for slow-cooker comfort food—throw together a hearty beef stew or chili this morning and let it simmer all day. A programmable slow cooker makes this effortless, and you can pair it with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven for bread or sides. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
