Denver Forecasts High of 95°F on August 28, 2026
• The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts a high temperature near 95°F (35°C) in Denver, Colorado, on August 28,
• The day is expected to feature partly sunny skies with southwest winds and a 20% chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Denver's high elevation and dry continental air mass are contributing to strong daytime heating, though increasing afternoon cloud cover and weak convective mixing are likely to prevent temperatures from exceeding 96°F (35.6°C). This aligns with a 66.5% market-implied probability for a high between 94°F and 95°F (34.4°C–35°C). Recent model updates have shown no significant warming trends, keeping the likelihood of temperatures above 96°F low.
Impact & Risks
The forecasted high of 95°F (35°C) is typical for late summer in Denver but could pose heat-related risks for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours may lead to dehydration or heat exhaustion. The 20% chance of thunderstorms could bring localized rain and gusty winds, potentially disrupting outdoor plans.
