TODAY'S WEATHER
Today in Denver it's gonna be overcast. Which means the clouds are just. Sitting there. Not doing anything. They came all the way up here to 5,280 feet, which is already a lot of effort, and then they just decided not to rain, so honestly I respect that — highs of 64, lows of 38, and winds so calm at 7 miles per hour that your hat is gonna be fine and that's a great feeling.
High 64°F / Low 38°F · Overcast
