It is expected to be cooler Thursday than it has been the past week, with a high temperature of around 85 degrees in downtown Denver, the NWS in Boulder said.

Rainfall rates of 2 inches per hour could trigger localized flooding. Small hail is also possible, the NWS said.
Higher chances for showers and thunderstorms today with heavy rain and localized flooding possible.
