DENVER (KDVR) — A warming trend has begun as the Denver weather forecast features above normal temperatures with mostly dry conditions as we prepare to head into mid-September.

The Broncos’ home opener looks pretty nice. Expect mostly dry conditions, but don’t rule out the chance for a stray area shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures will be seasonally warm, with highs in the lower 80s for most of the game.
Weather tonight: Partly Cloudy

Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Saturday with smoke still lingering in the air. It shouldn’t be as chilly waking up Sunday morning, with lows generally in the middle 50s. Temperatures in the mountains will fall into the 40s, with a few showers lingering overnight.
Weather tomorrow: Warm and dry for most

It will climb back into the lower 80s Sunday afternoon with mostly sunny skies in the morning turning partly sunny in the afternoon. Dry conditions are likely for most, but an isolated shower or storm may wander east of I-25. The high country again has the best opportunity for any shower or storm development.
Looking ahead: Not done with summer heat yet
Our warming trend continues through most of next week. Highs Monday return to the middle 80s with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s for some Tuesday through Thursday. Expect mostly sunny and dry conditions during this time. There will likely still be periods of hazy skies from wildfire smoke as well.

The forecast begins to undergo a slight change starting Thursday when minor rain chances return, but confidence is low right now in any meaningful rainfall around metro Denver. The mountains and south Colorado again look best situated for rain. Temperatures do fall slightly back to the low 80s into next weekend, which is seasonal.
