Denver is starting Thursday under cloudy skies, with showers possible through the afternoon. The unsettled stretch should give way to a sunny, warmer weekend, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s.
Thursday Afternoon Brings Showers And Storms
Showers may form over higher terrain in the midafternoon, followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms through the evening. The precipitation chance is around 40%, with light, variable winds initially turning northeast or east by afternoon.
The NWS Denver/Boulder office says showers may move into the northern mountains and foothills later Thursday evening. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the area.
Friday Fog Gives Way To More Storm Chances
Friday may begin with patchy fog before 10 a.m., then turn partly sunny with a high near 77. Showers and thunderstorms could return from around noon through the afternoon, again with a 40% chance of precipitation.
The latest forecast adds sharper timing to the unsettled weather outlined in an earlier Denver forecast, while keeping the weekend outlook mostly favorable. Anyone with afternoon outdoor plans should keep a backup option handy and move indoors if thunder is heard.
Sunny Weekend Arrives Before Early-Week Precipitation Chances
Saturday looks like the easiest outdoor day, with sunny skies and a high near 84. Sunday should be mostly sunny and slightly warmer, topping out around 85.
Another shift arrives early next week, when showers and thunderstorms may be possible, though timing remains uncertain. Tuesday highs could range from the low 50s to near 70 degrees. Higher mountain elevations could also see a chance of early-season snow late Monday into Tuesday.
