Denver residents can expect to quickly see a mix of weather conditions this week, according to the National Weather Service's latest forecast. With a "mostly cloudy" outlook and temperature sitting at a pleasant 65°F as of the early morning update, things are about to get quite variable. "A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon," reports the National Weather Service, so be sure to pack an umbrella alongside those sunglasses if stepping out later today.
The evening continues this pattern of uncertainty, as there's a 20 percent chance that showers and thunderstorms might visit before 9 pm. Prevailing westerly winds are expected to segue into a south-southwest direction after midnight, possibly bringing the temps down to a lower 61°F. Looking ahead to Friday, the probability of precipitation ramps up with the NWS Denver predicting a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon, and similar conditions spilling into the weekend.
While the week may start with above normal temps, Denverites should brace for a slight change of pace. Above normal temperatures will persist through Friday, with a cooling trend expected this weekend into early next week, as outlined in the Hazardous Weather Outlook provided by the NWS Denver. Despite these conditions, spotters will likely get a break as Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
