Denver is experiencing lingering storms tonight, with heavy monsoon rains expected to return to the metro area on Thursday.
According to Denver7, the city has already seen over 90 days of temperatures exceeding 90°F (32°C) this year, making it one of the hottest years on record.

Impact & Risks

The heavy monsoon rains could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas and regions with poor drainage. Residents in the Denver metro area should be cautious of water accumulation on roads, which may lead to hazardous driving conditions. Those living near rivers and streams should monitor water levels closely, as flash flooding could occur. The prolonged heatwave may exacerbate the impact of sudden heavy rains, increasing the risk of soil erosion and runoff.
