Denver starts Saturday with low- and mid-level clouds slow to develop in the morning before stratus becomes more widespread during the afternoon, as a cooler pattern moves in behind a morning cold front. Highs should reach only the low 50s before temperatures slip during the afternoon, with rain showers possible after noon.
Saturday brings a chance of rain, with northeast winds of 6 to 12 mph and gusts up to 18 mph. Rainfall amounts could range from about 0.05 to 0.25 inches across the broader area, according to the National Weather Service.
Afternoon Showers Could Complicate Outdoor Plans
Showers become more likely through the afternoon, with the best chance arriving from midafternoon into early evening. The forecast is not calling for a washout, but anyone heading out for Saturday plans may want a jacket and an umbrella within reach.
Saturday night brings another 40% chance of showers before midnight, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a low near 40 degrees.
Sunday Brings Sun, Then Another Rain Chance
Sunday looks brighter across Denver, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 60 degrees. Rain showers become likely again Sunday night with a 60% chance and a low around 42.
A slight chance of showers lingers Monday morning before skies turn mostly sunny, with a high near 61. The pattern then warms and dries out, with sunny skies and highs near 67 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
No watches, warnings or advisories were included in the forecast. For now, the weekend looks like a cool, occasionally damp reset before a much friendlier stretch takes over the middle of next week.
