DENVER (KDVR) – Showers and storms are expected Sunday along with below-average temperatures. This all comes before the area warms back into the 90s and dries out through the middle of the week and into the weekend.
Today's weather: Below average temperatures, rain
It will be cloudy in the morning and temperatures will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s when we head out. Temperatures will slowly but surely rise into the mid-to-upper 70s, about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than average for this time of year.
