Get your kites, running shoes and soccer balls out of the closet because Friday is the beginning of a nice stretch of warm Spring weather, national weather forecasters say.
But since it is spring always keep a wary eye on the sky because isolated thunderstorms will intrude on afternoon and evening picnics through the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
It will be very pleasant Friday with a high temperature of about 77 degrees.
There’s a 10 percent chance for rain showers, small hail and thunderstorms after 5 p.m. on Friday, forecasters said. The chance for rain will increase to 20 percent in the evening.
Scattered thunderstorms and rain showers are expected in the mountains, forecasters said.
Warmer today. Scattered showers and thunderstorms for the mountains this afternoon with gusty winds, brief rain and small hail.
