Friday will bring a hot afternoon, followed by cooler weekend weather.

Friday Brings Summerlike Heat

Mostly sunny skies will push Denver to the lower 90s Friday. Friday precipitation information is available, but wind speeds and the potential for late-day showers or virga are not detailed here.

How Unusual Is Friday’s Heat?

According to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder climate report, Denver’s normal high for September 11 is 82 degrees, while the record is 97 degrees, set in 2021. Friday’s forecast high in the lower 90s would therefore be above normal but below the daily record.

Friday's precipitation details are limited here, so outdoor plans should account for changing conditions. Friday night will stay partly cloudy, with temperatures settling near 60 degrees.

Saturday Cools Off Before Sunday Heats Up

Saturday brings a noticeable dip, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 85 degrees. Saturday's precipitation and wind details are not specified here.

Sunday's weather is not detailed here.

Storm Chances May Increase After the Weekend

Monday's daytime and nighttime forecast details are not specified here.

Tuesday's forecast details, including its high and precipitation timing, are not specified here.

Another Warmup Before More Showers

The available information does not detail Wednesday or Thursday weather.

No weather alerts are in effect in the current forecast. For now, Friday’s heat and very dry air call for extra attention to hydration, while the weekend forecast favors flexible outdoor plans.
