Denver, Colo. – Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms could roll through parts of northeast and north-central Colorado today, especially over the Palmer Divide, as cooler-than-average temperatures keep much of the region in the upper 60s to low 70s.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, afternoon storms may develop after 1 p.m., particularly in higher terrain areas such as southern Larimer and Jefferson counties. Spotter activation may be needed as convection builds during peak heating hours.
Cities along the I-25 corridor, including Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs, should expect breezy conditions and a 20% chance of precipitation this afternoon. Roads across higher elevations could see brief heavy rain or lightning, though severe weather isn’t expected.
Southwest winds around 6 mph will shift from the north by evening. Daytime highs will hover 10 to 15 degrees below seasonal averages, but a warm-up is on the way. Sunday could see highs pushing into the upper 80s, with isolated storm chances returning by early next week.
Storm chances remain in the forecast through the weekend. Stay alert for updated watches or warnings, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
