The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory Monday, advising people to take precautions as hot, dry weather bakes metro Denver, other cities along the Interstate 25 corridor, and Colorado’s high plains, bringing near-record temperatures and raising health risks.
Wind anticipated in mountain valleys west of Denver was drying out grass and other vegetation, and weather service meteorologists also warned of increasing fire danger early this week.
The high temperature in metro Denver will be 100 degrees on Monday, decreasing to 68 degrees at night, forecasters said. On Tuesday, the high temperature will be 97 degrees.
