Denver, CO — The Colorado weekend forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures across the region. According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, Thursday will see increasing clouds with isolated thunderstorms developing over the mountains in the afternoon, gradually spreading to the plains by the evening. While these storms are expected to bring brief gusty winds, significant rainfall is unlikely.
As the weekend approaches, temperatures will remain high, with Denver reaching up to 88°F on Thursday, climbing to the mid-90s by Friday and Saturday. The warmth will be accompanied by generally clear skies, though isolated storms may still occur, particularly in the late afternoons and evenings.
An Ozone Action Day Alert is in effect for the Front Range Urban Corridor, including Denver, Jefferson, and several other counties, until 4 p.m. Thursday. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment advises limiting the use of gas-powered vehicles to reduce ozone concentrations, which are expected to rise into the “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” category.
Residents should prepare for hot and dry conditions over the weekend, with high temperatures and ongoing air quality concerns. Those sensitive to poor air quality should take necessary precautions, particularly during peak heat hours.
