Denver is getting a sunny, warm weekend before rain becomes possible next week. Saturday should reach 84 degrees, Sunday may hit 85, and both days look like easy wins for outdoor plans.
The National Weather Service Denver/Boulder expects dry conditions across the plains through the weekend, with mostly sunny skies and only light winds in Denver. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area.
Sunny Weekend Brings One More Taste Of Summer
Saturday will be sunny with a high near 84 degrees and southeast winds around 5 to 9 mph. Temperatures should fall to about 54 Saturday night under mostly cloudy skies, making for a comfortable evening after the warm afternoon.
Sunday will be a little warmer, reaching near 85 degrees under mostly sunny skies. South winds could gust as high as 18 mph, while Sunday night turns mostly cloudy with a low around 58.
Heavy Rain Potential Late Tuesday Through Thursday
Monday starts fairly mild, with partly sunny skies and a high near 79. Monday and Tuesday precipitation chances have decreased, while the potential for heavy rain is mainly late Tuesday through Thursday. The rain swath's location remains uncertain, and Denver could be on its northern edge or miss it.
The latest outlook points to a possible midweek shift described in Friday's Hoodline forecast. The rain swath's location remains uncertain, and Denver could receive limited rain or miss the main swath.
Cooler Midweek, Then A Friday Rebound
Wednesday should stay partly sunny with a high near 72 and a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms. Thursday brings a smaller rain chance and a high near 75, followed by a mostly sunny Friday near 80.
For now, Saturday and Sunday are the best bets for patios, parks and other outdoor plans. Anyone scheduling activities Tuesday through Thursday should keep a backup plan handy, since the rain swath's location and amounts remain uncertain, and Denver could see limited rain or miss the main swath.
