DENVER GAZETTE FILE
Denver residents can expect sunny skies and a high near 93, according to the National Weather Service. The service also issued an air quality alert for much of the Front Range Urban Corridor, set to expire at 4 p.m., Tuesday.
The alert was issued Monday and though ozone concentrations did not exceed the “moderate” category, calm winds and higher temperatures mean concentrations will rise. The service expects to see ozone levels reach “unhealthy for sensitive groups.”
The alert extends as far north as Larimer County and as far south as Douglas County.
