Temperatures climbed quickly Thursday, reaching the upper 80s. Another round of afternoon storms produced some gusty winds, lightning and hail over the plains. There will be an even higher risk of severe weather out east on Friday, ahead of a hot and dry weekend.
It'll be a mostly sunny, dry and hot start to Father's Day weekend. Denver could see its first 90+ degree day of the year Saturday!
The above-average temperatures continue into early next week. Stay cool, Colorado!
More summer-like heat and afternoon storms for the Denver metro area
