The Denver area can expect a week sprinkled with a touch of variety according to the National Weather Service. Beginning with a sunny disposition, today's weather is likely to hit a comfortable 63 degrees, with a slight dance of the winds, gusting up to 22 mph. As the week rolls on, residents should keep their jackets close by with nighttime temperatures hovering around the 39-degree mark.
Looking to Monday, the NWS forecasts continued sunshine with a bump in warmth as temperatures are predicted to flirt with the 71-degree line. Gusty winds on Monday are anticipated to stir up some potential fire concerns across the eastern plains. Coming into Tuesday and Wednesday, Denverites might find themselves occasionally looking up as a modest chance of showers enters the scene, primarily hitting in the afternoon hours.
The latter half of the week seems bent on a bit more excitement. A few afternoon showers or thunderstorms will be possible for the latter half of the week, especially on Thursday and Friday, according to the National Weather Service. Denver's weather narrative will waver between sunny spells and cloud cover, with Thursday threatening a more persistent downpour interspersed with possible thunderstorms that should fade into the evening.
The NWS hazardous weather outlook doesn't anticipate immediate risks for today and tonight; however, attention should be locked on those gusty winds and fire weather conditions, especially those residing on the eastern plains. Despite the absence of spotter activation, this outlook tags Monday as a day when vigilance for fire hazards should be heightened. The prospect of showers and thunderstorms from midweek ahead gives reason to tote umbrellas alongside sunnies, embracing the capriciousness of Denver's transitional spring atmosphere.
