Denver residents, brace yourselves for a diverse week in weather. With the National Weather Service in Denver, Colorado, updating us with the latest weather developments, it's clear that we're strapping in for a subtle rollercoaster of conditions. According to the National Weather Service, today brings a skimpy chance of showers with an inkling of thunder after 3 pm, and highs soaring near the mid-90s. Watch for the wind, though it's supposed to stay in the single digits, it might shoot up to 16 mph gusts.
As this evening sidles in, the rain probability hangs at 20 percent, and the clearing skies will usher in temperatures in the low 60s. It's the kind of prediction you want to casually listen to; it might just convince you to carry an umbrella. The anticipated cool-down happens on Tuesday with a 40 percent chance of splash and thunder after noon, but let's not pretend - dry and sleek conditions win the rest of the week, with Juneteenth looking sunny and the thermometer potentially stretching to sweltering nineties.
The Hazardous Weather Outlook section points out that the warm weather kicks on with highs ranging from the upper 80s to mid-90s. The spark of potential severe storms is called out for northeastern parts of Colorado, mainly east of Fort Morgan to Limon. Denver will get its taste of the action with a few showers, possibly kicking up gusty winds this afternoon.
For the week's outlook, Sunday and Monday promise to continue the high-temperature spree before Tuesday decides to cool things off with increased chances for showers and storms. If you're more inclined to maintain a suntan, the back half of your week is looking to accommodate just that. And though 'spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight,' as explained by the forecast, the overall advice feels clear: prepare to dodge raindrops just enough to welcome a stretch of high sky and climbing degrees.
