Denver, CO – Showers and thunderstorms are expected to become more widespread across Colorado today, with the most active period developing in the afternoon. According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Denver/Boulder, residents should prepare for hail up to one inch in diameter and gusty winds reaching 40–55 mph near stronger storms.
Meteorologists say a few storms may become marginally severe, particularly along the Front Range and foothills. Convective showers are forecast to linger into the evening hours in some areas, though the overall severe risk remains low.
Saturday’s unsettled weather will also bring slightly cooler temperatures compared to Friday, offering modest relief following recent late-summer heat. Afternoon highs will range from the upper 70s to low 80s across the plains, with 60s and 70s in higher elevations.
Drivers are urged to use caution if caught in sudden downpours, as strong outflow winds can reduce visibility and create hazardous travel conditions. Hail may also briefly impact roadways and outdoor activities.
The NWS continues to monitor storm development and advises residents to stay weather-aware throughout the day. Updates will be provided as conditions evolve.
