According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, CO, Denver residents can expect a mix of changing skies and a chance of thunderstorms beginning today and extending into the early part of the week. In a mostly cloudy setting hovering around 53°F this morning, there's a possibility of scattered showers and thunderstorms developing after 3 pm, carrying into the evening with about a 20 percent chance, as reported by the National Weather Service. The potential for stormy weather extends through Monday night, with an escalating probability peaking at 40 percent for afternoon thunderstorms.
Looking forward, Sunday brings a calm morning that could culminate in a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms after noon. Akin to a roulette wheel, the skies will spin with light and variable wind in the morning that could gust as high as 25 mph. By nighttime, those gusts are expected to slightly temper down, just as the chance of precipitation persists, keeping Denverites in a light embrace of uncertainty.
For those planning outdoor activities or work in the coming days, it's advised to keep an eye on the shifting cloudscapes. The hazardous weather outlook released by the National Weather Service signals an uptick in thunderstorm activity and winds for the beginning of the week, dialing down to clearer conditions by Wednesday. Severe thunderstorms are earmarked as a particular threat for northeast Colorado come Sunday afternoon, so caution is the watchword for any traveling or ventures outside.
By Tuesday, the skies are slated to clear progressively, pointing to a mostly sunny day with a high near 70, ushering in a spate of drier weather midweek. Residents should expect the sun to reclaim its throne by Wednesday with a high near 77, promising more stable meteorological times ahead. Evenings will tend to be cooler with lows fluctuating around the mid-40s to low 50s, adding a crisp punctuation to the day's warmth. Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight, concludes the National Weather Service, suggesting a moderate outlook on immediate weather concerns.
