Denver, Colorado – Warmer, drier air sweeping in from the north is tamping down storm activity across northeast Colorado today, but residents in the high terrain could still see scattered thunderstorms this afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, the best chances for showers and storms will develop over the mountains and foothills, where stronger cells could bring brief heavy rain and small hail. The northeast plains—including cities like Greeley, Sterling, and Fort Morgan—are expected to stay mostly dry with above-average highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Drivers along I-70 west of Denver and those traveling near Estes Park or Nederland should stay alert for sudden downpours or hail bursts this afternoon. Outdoor plans in the high country should include rain gear and access to shelter.
This pattern shift marks a temporary drying trend for the region after several days of widespread showers. While storm chances decrease, additional isolated activity remains possible through early evening.
NWS forecasters say this drier stretch could continue into Friday, but mountain storms remain possible. Stay tuned for updated advisories if conditions change.
