More rain is expected to persist into a new week around metro Denver and the Colorado high country, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

Denver residents can expect a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 12 p.m. Patchy fog before 10 a.m., with a bit of a warmup from the weekend to a high near 72. South southeast winds could blow between 6-11 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.

The weather service also warned morning drivers of areas of fog and low visibility in the northeast plains, particularly from Fort Morgan to the Sterling area Monday morning. Drivers are asked to use low-beam lights and drive slowly. Fog is expected to dissipate around 8 a.m.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms are again expected Monday, especially in the high terrain and urban corridor, the weather service said. Some “embedded” thunder could bring small hail and a primary hazard of locally heavy rainfall.
