Denver is waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s Thursday, but the quiet start is a brief prelude to another run of 90-degree weather. The high should reach around 90 this afternoon, with mostly sunny skies and only a small chance of a shower or thunderstorm.
Friday And Saturday Bring The Weekend Heat
Friday looks hotter, with a high near 95 under mostly sunny skies. Saturday should also climb to about 95, although clouds and a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrive after noon; any storms may be more notable for gusty winds than widespread rain, according to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder office.
Storm Chances Build Sunday And Monday
Storm chances increase Sunday and Monday, when afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are possible after noon. Highs ease to around 91 Sunday and 88 Monday, while overnight lows settle into the low 60s.
Light Winds First, Gustier Weather Later
Thursday’s winds should stay light, generally between 2 and 8 mph, while Friday could bring gusts as high as 18 mph. The latest outlook says storm coverage decreases Thursday and Friday before increasing late Saturday and Sunday, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted.
Thursday is the easiest day for mostly sunny outdoor plans, while Friday and Saturday call for heat protection and some flexibility later in the day. Keep an eye on the sky this weekend, especially after noon, when storms could develop quickly and send gusty outflow winds across open areas.
