Denver is waking Friday to mostly cloudy skies, with patchy fog expected to linger before 10 a.m. The clouds should give way to a warmer afternoon, but showers and thunderstorms may move across the metro from around noon through late afternoon. The high is expected to reach near 77 degrees.
Friday Starts Foggy, Then Turns Stormy
The morning fog should be most noticeable north and east of Denver, while the city gradually brightens. By afternoon, the chance of precipitation rises to about 40%, with a few storms capable of producing brief heavy rain.
That timing is a sharper update to the outlook covered by Hoodline Thursday. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the area, but anyone with outdoor plans should keep an indoor backup handy and head inside if thunder is heard.
Saturday And Sunday Look Like The Weekend Winners
Saturday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 84 degrees. Sunday should be mostly sunny and slightly warmer, reaching about 85 degrees.
Sunday night turns mostly cloudy with a low around 58. In other words, the weekend is offering Denver its brief annual reminder that fall does not always mean jacket weather.
Cooler, Wetter Turn Arrives Monday
Monday will start partly sunny and warm near 80 degrees, but early-week precipitation remains uncertain.
The National Weather Service Denver/Boulder office says the early-week system remains uncertain. Above 11,000 feet, there is a medium chance of light mountain snow late Monday into Tuesday, while the Denver-area rain and temperature forecast should become clearer as the system approaches.
