Temperatures in Denver have remained moderately cool today, with the National Weather Service reporting a current outlook of 34°F and partly cloudy skies. The humidity sits at a balanced 50%, while winds from the south move at 10 mph, lending to a wind chill that makes it feel more like 26°F.
A brief look at the rest of the week suggests sunny skies with temperatures peaking at the low seventies. However, Veterans Day might witness a gusty change: Mostly sunny, with a high near 71. West southwest wind 8 to 13 mph, becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Fire hazards are a concern, with Tuesday afternoon expected to bring elevated fire weather conditions over the plains.
The evening scene will most likely be cloudier, with the occasional chance of showers and potential snow as Friday night makes way for the weekend. "A slight chance of rain showers before 11 pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35," the NWS noted, predicting a mix of precipitation for Denver residents. Saturday's outlook indicates a possibility of rain and snow showers, with a cooler high of around 48°F.
In terms of hazardous weather, the latest outlook shows no immediate threats for the region. The weather scenario seems tranquil enough: "North-northwesterly winds across the plains will keep temperatures cool today. Precipitation is not expected across the entire forecast area," according to the Hazardous Weather Outlook by the NWS Denver/Boulder, CO. But come late Friday and Saturday, an upper trough is expected to sweep across the area, potentially bringing with it a change in weather patterns, and maybe even, much-needed precipitation.
Denver's spotters, often on alert for signs of extreme weather, will find respite in that their activation is not needed today or tonight. The community thus continues its week with a forecast that carries the promise of warmth, sun, and a potential quenching of thirst for the drier patches of the region.
