DENVER - Starting tonight, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue into the evening, especially for areas along and south of Interstate 70. While widespread severe weather isn't expected, there remains a slight chance that one or two stronger storms could develop in this region, bringing heavier rain and gusty winds. North of I-70, the atmosphere is more stable, so storm chances there are lower, but a few showers or storms could still occur as a weather disturbance moves through.
Overnight, the rain and storms will taper off as drier air pushes into the region. Skies will begin to clear, and Friday will bring generally dry conditions with slightly warmer temperatures. A weather ridge building in from the west will help keep things calm, though some gusty winds and lower humidity in eastern parts of the area could create elevated fire weather concerns. However, conditions are not expected to reach critical fire danger levels.
By Saturday, the dry and warm weather continues through the morning hours, but clouds and scattered showers or thunderstorms may return during the afternoon, especially over the mountains. Despite this, most areas will stay dry due to limited atmospheric moisture and weak storm support. Fire weather concerns could persist in spots where humidity remains low, but light winds should help prevent any serious issues.
A more active pattern will begin to take shape late Saturday into Sunday as a strong upper-level low moves in from the southwest. Sunday will likely be warm once again, but this change in the weather pattern will bring a noticeable increase in showers and thunderstorms, especially across higher terrain. The growing influence of this system signals a shift away from the dry weather we’ve seen at the end of the week.
Looking ahead into next week, the incoming storm system could bring several days of unsettled weather. Forecast models are increasingly pointing to the potential for heavy rainfall, thunderstorms—some possibly strong—and even late-season mountain snow. While some details like the exact track and intensity remain uncertain, it’s clear that a wetter and more active period is on the horizon for the region.
