Denver starts Wednesday clear and calm, with temperatures near 66 degrees around daybreak. Sunshine will quickly push readings toward 90 this afternoon, setting up a hotter stretch that lasts through Friday. A few late-day storms could interrupt the otherwise bright forecast.
Denver Heats Up Through Friday
Wednesday will be sunny with a high near 90, while south-southeast winds stay generally between 5 and 8 mph. The National Weather Service says a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms could develop late Wednesday afternoon or evening, especially north of the city and near higher terrain.
Thursday turns hotter and drier, with sunny skies and a high near 93. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph, so patio umbrellas, loose decorations, and anything not firmly anchored may need a little attention.
Friday Stays Hot Before The Pattern Shifts
Friday is expected to be the warmest day of the near-term forecast, reaching about 94 degrees under sunny skies. Saturday remains mostly sunny with a high near 92, though a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms appears Saturday night.
Storm Chances Return Sunday And Labor Day
Sunday brings a more noticeable chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with partly sunny skies and a high near 89. Labor Day follows a similar setup, with a high near 90 and storms possible after noon. Tuesday stays warm near 88, but another afternoon storm chance remains in the forecast.
Best Outdoor Window Comes Early
Morning and early-afternoon plans should have the clearest conditions this week, while weekend events may need some flexibility after noon. Storms are not expected to dominate, but any that form could bring brief gusty winds as they move across the plains. No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently posted for the Denver area.
