Another hot week is setting up across the state with severe storm chances kicking off the work week.

The Denver metro area and the I-25 corridor are under a Level 1-Marginal risk for scattered severe storms Monday afternoon.

That threat increases to a Level 3 – Enhanced Risk for far Northeastern Colorado.

Scattered thunderstorms will form early this afternoon in the foothills before moving across I-25. As storms spread into the plains, they will run into more instability, creating a greater potential for severe storms.

If storms do strengthen today, some could produce large hail and damaging winds.

There is also a threat of isolated tornadoes in Eastern Colorado.

High temperatures for the Denver area will climb into the low to mid-90s, with warmer-than-normal weather across the state.

Tuesday afternoon also comes with a threat of some scattered storms.

Denver and eastern Colorado will again be under a Level 1-Marginal risk for severe weather.

Like Monday, scattered storms will develop in the mid-afternoon and spread out into the Eastern plains.
