Forecasters are calling for a hot Thursday in Denver as a wave of heat expected to last into next week moves onto the Front Range.
The National Weather Service in Boulder says temperatures in the city will top out near 89 degrees. There is a 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3 p.m., though skies are expected to stay mostly sunny.
“Isolated thunderstorms will develop in the late afternoon and continue this evening over the plains and east slopes of the mountains,” the weather service said in a bulletin. “There is still enough instability for one of two severe thunderstorms.”
Severe weather is most likely east of a line from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Burlington.
