The National Weather Service in Denver is keeping an eye on the skies, anticipating the possibility of severe weather conditions. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3 pm today in Denver, with mostly sunny conditions and a high approaching 91 degrees.
The outline of the weekend weather paints a hot scene, as Denverites should expect sunny skies with temperatures potentially soaring to the triple digits on the plains. You won't need an umbrella at night, as this evening's forecast only sees a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 7 pm, with the rest of the weekend looking dry with lows in the low 60s. While today brings a brief interlude of potential precipitation, the encroaching warmth will be the dominating weather story.
Commuters into Denver might face gusty winds with speeds up to 16 mph on Saturday afternoon. It's a reminder to hold on to your hats and perhaps secure any loose items around your property. The evening offers respite from the wind, but only slightly, with gusts decreasing to 15 mph, and a "mostly clear" sky according to the National Weather Service.
Turning toward the start of next week, Denver will not be seeing much reprieve from the heat. Monday's forecast calls for "mostly sunny and hot" conditions, with a high hovering near 97 degrees, while Tuesday will once again bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. It feels like the higher temperatures are almost entrenched, just as much as the cityscape itself.
