National Weather Service forecasts for Denver point to a sunny, hot July 20 with a high near 98–99°F, aligning with the market’s leading 98–99°F bin at 55.5% implied probability and the 100–101°F outcome at 26.5%. Persistent high pressure, minimal cloud cover, and downslope warming from the Rockies support temperatures several degrees above the city’s 94°F July average. Ensemble guidance shows limited spread around this range, though slight model differences in boundary-layer mixing or timing of any late-day heating could nudge readings into the low 100s. Traders are weighting the latest official guidance and historical analogs for mid-July heat events while awaiting final NWS updates before resolution.
