Denizens of Denver should brace for a medley of sunny skies and potential thunderstorms in the coming days, according to the latest weather forecast. As reported by the National Weather Service, today's forecast includes a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post-3 pm, with temperatures soaring up to a high near 89 degrees. For those commuting or planning outdoor activities, it's worth noting that the winds could peak at around 17 mph.
As we transition into the night, the chance for rain and thunder continues, although it drops before 9 pm. The wind, persistently present, is predicted to slow to a 3 to 8 mph breeze from the southwest. Folks might want to hold onto their hats as gusts could easily reach, but not always hit, the higher end of the 17 mph range. For anyone planning star-gazing sessions or evening jogs, a partly cloudy night sky with a low temperature of around 56 degrees should provide a comfortable backdrop.
Looking forward to Friday, optimism for clear skies should remain guarded; a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms still lurks in the afternoon forecasts. The weekend, meanwhile, is shaping up to offer a generous dose of sunshine with temperatures expected to graze the 90s. Saturday night promises an unadulterated view of the heavens, courtesy of mostly clear conditions and a temperate low around 60 degrees.
As Sunday rolls around, it’s expected to generally expand upon the trend of sunny days and clear evenings, with the mercury expected to tip the scales at a scorching 94 degrees. But it's not all clear skies, the National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook signals a return of potential disturbances by Tuesday with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. The start of the new week will carry the rhythm of mostly sunny days and partly cloudy nights, before showers make a possible guest appearance on Tuesday.
