DENVER — Tonight, a few thunderstorms will continue across the eastern plains, with some storms capable of producing large hail and strong wind gusts. The greatest risk for severe weather will be over far northeastern Colorado, where an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. Skies will gradually clear overnight, though some low clouds may develop across the plains by late evening.
Sunday will bring another chance for strong to severe thunderstorms, mainly across the eastern plains during the afternoon and evening. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats. Around the Denver area, conditions will stay warm with only a limited chance for rain, while gusty northwest winds develop at times.
On Monday, moisture returns to the plains, leading to more scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures will trend a little cooler than normal, and a few storms could become strong, although specific severe weather details remain uncertain this far out.
From Tuesday through Thursday, daily chances for showers and thunderstorms are expected across the plains as easterly winds keep moisture in place. The unsettled pattern will help hold temperatures below seasonal averages, with the best chances for storms occurring during the afternoon and evening.
In the mountains and high valleys, elevated to critical fire weather conditions will continue at times through much of next week. While a few storms are possible, many areas will remain relatively dry, and gusty winds combined with low humidity will keep fire danger elevated.
