DENVER — In Denver- tonight, showers and storms will begin to wind down across the region. While some lingering rain is still possible into the evening, especially in northern areas, the trend will be for activity to become less intense and more scattered. As the night goes on, most of the storm activity should gradually fade out, leaving behind quieter conditions by early morning.

Thursday will bring a shift toward drier and more stable weather. While some low clouds or patchy fog may hang around early in the morning, especially across the plains, they should clear out as the day goes on. Sunshine will return for many areas, particularly around Denver, with only a small chance of a stray afternoon shower in the mountains. Overall, it’ll feel more settled and a bit warmer than recent days.

By Friday, expect a noticeable warm-up as drier air takes hold and sunshine becomes more widespread. Temperatures will climb back to more typical mid-September levels, and any lingering moisture will be pushed out, limiting chances for showers. It should feel like a return to late-summer conditions, making for a pleasant end to the workweek.

Looking ahead to the weekend, a weather system will approach from the northwest, but at this point it doesn’t look like it will bring much impact to our area. While models are starting to pick up on a stronger disturbance developing over the central plains early next week, it appears to be moving into a relatively dry and stable environment. That means we’ll probably see just a bit of cloud cover and only a slight drop in temperatures by Monday or Tuesday.

By the middle of next week, the pattern looks to favor continued dry weather with near-seasonal temperatures. A high-pressure ridge is expected to build west of us, helping to keep storm systems at bay and bringing a run of quieter fall weather. It’s a good stretch to get outside, enjoy the warm days, and maybe even start planning for some leaf peeping in the weeks ahead.
