Denver eased into Friday under mostly cloudy skies and a cool start, with temperatures sitting near 45°F at local stations. Sunshine is expected to break through the morning and send highs up to around 69°F, setting up a comfortable afternoon for errands, walks, and patio time.
Afternoon Forecast
Skies should turn mostly sunny Friday, with light north winds around 5 to 8 mph and a high near 69°F. Humidity stays on the low side, so conditions will feel dry and pleasant into the evening without much of that sticky factor.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday cranks up the warmth, with highs near 78°F and west winds of 6 to 14 mph. Gusts could jump into the mid-20s, so it may feel a bit blustery at times. Late Saturday night, there is about a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with localized gusty outflow winds and small hail possible. For the latest timing and any tweaks to the forecast, keep an eye on the National Weather Service.
Next Week Warmup
An upper-level ridge builds in early next week and flips the switch to a more summer-like pattern, with highs climbing into the 80s and potentially near 90°F on Monday or Wednesday. That warm, dry stretch brings elevated fire-weather concerns across parts of the plains, following the late-week snow and wet period covered earlier in the late-week snow shock, as per Hoodline.
What To Know
No watches or warnings are in effect for the Denver metro this morning. If you have outdoor setups or evening plans on Saturday, secure lightweight items that could tumble in the wind and keep tabs on updated forecasts. When traveling, it is a good idea to check airport and transit advisories before you head out.
