The weather will be warm and mostly sunny Wednesday, with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The high temperature in Denver will be 78 degrees, weather service forecasters said.
A few storms developing in Colorado’s western mountains and on the high plains east of metro Denver may intensify. Where that happens, hail may hit and wind gusts could sweep through at speeds up to 60 miles per hour, forecasters said. Brief bursts of heavy rain are possible. Such storms may drop more water into creeks and rivers that over the past rainy week have surged and flooded in some mountain foothills canyons west of the city.
On Thursday, the high temperature in Denver is expected to decrease to around 65 degrees. Meteorologists anticipated more rain Thursday. Scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms will raise risks of flash flooding, especially in the mountain burn zones where the massive Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires in 2020 reduced vegetation.
Bit of a rinse & repeat weather day from Tues. Mostly sunny skies and warm temps today with scattered showers & t-storms developing this afternoon⛈️ A few storms may be strong to severe over the east plains with hail up to 1" & gusts up to 60mph possible.
