**Denver, CO -** The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a hazardous weather outlook for metro Denver, warning of scattered thunderstorms and strong wind gusts up to 50 mph on Sunday and into Monday.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout the day on Sunday, particularly across the Front Range and Eastern Plains. While the storms themselves may be scattered, the strong winds pose a significant risk, especially for people recreating on open water.
NWS officials emphasize that the wind gusts can shift direction even in the absence of overhead storms, creating a potentially dangerous situation for outdoor activities.
The severe weather is expected to continue into Monday, with thunderstorms potentially bringing strong winds and some rain to northeast Colorado.
The NWS advises residents to stay informed and prepared for the changing weather conditions.
