Denver, CO, August 10, 2026 —
Denver is beginning the week under a blanket of heat and haze, with temperatures forecast to approach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The visibility issues are attributed to a combination of wildfire smoke and ozone, creating hazy conditions across the region. This initial stretch of weather is accompanied by isolated chances of storms.
The potential for severe weather is more pronounced in the northeastern plains of Colorado. Residents can expect the current hot and hazy pattern to persist through the early part of the week.
A shift in weather is anticipated by mid-week with the expected arrival of monsoon moisture. This change is projected to increase the likelihood of rain and thunderstorms across the area. The influx of moisture is also expected to bring a cooling trend, with temperatures dropping by Thursday.
