The National Weather Service in Denver has released a forecast for the forthcoming week that suggests a calm but seasonally varied pattern in the weather for the Denver area. Today's conditions are expected to be sunny with a peak temperature of around 82 degrees Fahrenheit, with calm winds shifting to the north northeast at approximately 6 mph in the afternoon. This will be followed by a mostly clear night, with temperatures dipping to around 55 degrees.
Those planning outdoor activities for Labor Day can look forward to sunny skies and temperatures that are expected to rise slightly to a high near 84 degrees. The following nights will see similar patterns, with mostly clear conditions and lows hovering around 55 degrees. It's important for residents to slowly prepare for this subtle change in the weather, so as not to get caught unprepared by the slightly increasing temperatures.
A slight shift in the forecast arrives midweek when Wednesday brings a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. However, the sun will still dominate for the most part, with a high near 83 degrees predicted. Dry conditions will dominate once again through to the following Saturday, except for another slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
In terms of weather hazards, the National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for northeast and north central Colorado. "Scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist throughout much of the day. Storms will be strongest in the afternoon with brief heavy rain and lightning," according to the National Weather Service. However, no spotter activation is anticipated for today or tonight. From Sunday through Tuesday, the community can expect to mostly see dry conditions before the midweek slight chance of thunderstorms rolls through.
