DENVER — Scattered showers and storms are rumbling across the Denver metro area this evening, bringing brief but heavy downpours, gusty winds, thunder and plenty of lightning. It's a sign that the weather pattern is finally changing up a bit.
After a week of 90+ degree heat, cooler and wetter weather will move into the state for the rest of the work week. And the monsoon rains will linger through the upcoming weekend.

The heavier monsoon rains will likely push into the Denver metro area Thursday, with the potential for localized drenching rains and flash flooding. Thursday will also be the start of some relief from the heat as a cold front dips into the state. Look for daytime highs to only reach the upper 70s to low 80s in and around the Interstate 25 corridor.
The cool, wet weather sticks around Friday and continues through the weekend. Look for highs in the low 80s with scattered storms Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening.
Slightly warmer and drier weather returns early next week. We won't see another 90+ degree day until next Tuesday! Enjoy the cool off while it's here!
