The temperature will rise to about 93 degrees Tuesday in Denver, before clouds and a slight chance for rain cool things off in the late afternoon.
There is a 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mostly after 3 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
It could be another dramatic weather day for the Eastern Plains, said Nazette Rydell, meteorologist for the NWS.
There were two brief tornadoes, one each in Sedgwick and Phillips counties, on Monday afternoon, Rydell said. The tornadoes didn’t cause much property damage but golfball-sized hail pummeled several towns across the Front Range, she said.
“We got skunked pretty bad,” Rydell bad. “The hail broke quite a few windows.”
She said hail is possible again on Thursday throughout the urban corridor.
The chance for rain and thunderstorms increases through the week, with a 30 percent chance Wednesday night, a 50 percent chance on Thursday and a 40 percent chance on Friday.
“We have a chance of a stray storm every afternoon,” Rydell said.
The stormy weather will impact temperatures, with the high temperature dropping to about 88 degrees on Wednesday and 78 degrees both on Thursday and Friday, according to the NWS.
The chance for afternoon rain diminishes over the Independence Day weekend.
Temperatures will rise to 84 degrees on Saturday, 89 on Sunday and 91 on Monday.
It should be mostly Sunny on the fourth of July.
