The National Weather Service in Denver is forecasting a changeable week for weather, with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms primarily hitting in the afternoon today. According to the National Weather Service, Denver locals can expect a high near 90 degrees Fahrenheit with light winds shifting from south-southwest to southwest and possibly gusting up to 16 mph.
Transitioning into the evening, the likelihood of showers continues but drops to 40 percent before midnight, with mostly cloudy skies and a low of around 63 degrees. The winds should become lighter and more variable after midnight. While the risk of flash flooding on the burn scars is limited due to the pace of the moving storms, areas to keep an eye on include Jackson, Grand, Larimer, Boulder, Park, Weld, Adams, Arapahoe, Elbert, Logan, Washington, Sedgwick, and Phillips counties.
The outlook for the subsequent days shows a decrease in shower and storm activity moving into Monday, maintaining a slight chance with a 20 percent probability during the day. The stronger storms will have the potential to produce gusty winds up to 50 mph, brief heavy rain, and frequent lightning, as per the National Weather Service. The weather is anticipated to swing towards drier conditions starting Tuesday, with sunny skies and a high near 87 forecasted, and only isolated and weaker storms expected throughout the rest of the week.
As we look beyond to Wednesday, Denver's weather appears to be setting a sunny precedent, with a high climbing to around 91 degrees. Denverites who enjoy clearer skies at night will be in luck as Wednesday night's forecast calls for mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 57. Drier weather is then expected to develop by Tuesday and hold through most of the week ahead, as noted by the National Weather Service. This groove of pleasant weather could be a welcomed respite for residents weary of the summer's capricious thunderstorms.
