The National Weather Service in Denver has forecast what looks to be a rather consistent week of weather ahead for the Denver area, as sunny skies dominate with slight chances of showers and thunderstorms, particularly later in the week over higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service, today will remain sunny with a high near 88 degrees and light winds, offering residents a day of clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Tonight's weather will see partly cloudy conditions with a low around 59 degrees. The NWS points out that Wednesday through Friday holds a 20 to 30 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, particularly in regions situated above 9000 feet.
In the urban heart of Denver, temperature highs are forecasted to hover in the upper 80s through Friday, reaching toward the low 90s by the weekend. Each night, the lows are expected to drop to the upper 50s to the low 60s, making for pleasant evenings. Denver residents can anticipate a repeating pattern of mostly sunny mornings giving way to partly cloudy nights, with the occasional dance of light gusts that might reach as high as 17 mph on Thursday.
Despite an advisory from the NWS for potential showers and thunderstorms in the higher elevations, spotters will find some relief as no activation will be needed today and tonight. The NWS released this information in their "Hazardous Weather Outlook", which encompasses an area stretching from northeast to north central Colorado. Residents and travelers in these areas should keep alert to these minor weather disturbances amid an otherwise stable weather week. Such scattered showers and thunderstorms typically pose minimal threat but can provide a respite from the dryness and a spectacle for any onlookers with their rare appearances.
