Your day
Cool start warming fast, warm and partly sunny this afternoon near 74°, then a warm, gray evening; a light layer early is all you need.
We've trimmed Sunday's high from 60° to 53° as a leftover low from the departing trough closes off over the Southwest and pushes deeper moisture and cloud into eastern Colorado. NWS raised Sunday's rain chance from 11% to 31%, a real shot at meaningful precipitation for a dry month.

Yesterday came in 3 degrees cooler than forecast: we called for 71° and Denver - Centennial read 68°, colder than all but about 5% of Monday's weather models. The official airport gauge hit 73°, a reminder of how much the metro split.
Foxfield had run above normal for four straight days through Tuesday, averaging 10 degrees warm, and today's high near 74° should stretch it to five. It stays dry too, with no measurable rain on at least five straight days and October 0.52 inches short of normal.
Sunday's high spans 39° to 67° across the weather models, unusually wide for this range, hinging on where that closed low tracks before it shears out. We lean cool at 53° because the European and AI guidance run 10 to 15 degrees colder than the warm GFS.
