DENVER — This recent surge of monsoon moisture into Colorado will make one last push across the state on Monday keeping the flood risk elevated in the mountain burn scars, while also increasing rain chances in the Denver area. 

A few isolated rain showers could form in Denver between noon and 4pm, but the higher rain coverage might come later in the evening between 6-9pm. That could mean some possible weather delays, if not a postponement for the Rockies who have returned to Coors Field to start a homestand against the Baltimore Orioles. 

There is also a marginal risk for severe wind and hail with storms that form near the east Denver metro extending out to the eastern state line.

Another impact of this monsoon surge will be slightly cooler temperatures. The high in Denver is forecast to stay below 90 degrees on Monday and Tuesday.

The weather pattern looks to switch up mid-week. The ridge of high pressure is forecast shift farther out to the east which will limit the pull of moisture coming up from the monsoon region. Rain chances are expected to be much lower statewide on Wednesday and Thursday, and that drier air could last longer in the Denver area, perhaps even into the coming weekend. 

The high heat is also going to return with that drier air. High temperatures in Denver are forecast to be near or slightly above 90 degrees Wednesday through Sunday.
