It's been a busy afternoon along the Urban Corridor and Eastern Plains as severe storms and even a tornado rumbled through the region.
Tonight, the threat of severe storms is moving out of the Denver metro area as the sunsets. Look for lingering storms this evening with brief but heavy rain, lightning, thunder, gusty winds and small hail. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for areas south of the Palmer Divide to the Eastern Plains until 10pm tonight.
A cold front will swing into the state tonight, ushering in plenty of cloud cover and much cooler temperatures. It'll be a foggy, cloudy and drizzly start to your Friday.
In fact, Friday will be the coolest day of the week, with highs only in the 50s across the plains. Look for mostly cloudy skies and very light scattered showers across the state.
Warmer and drier weather return for the weekend as temperatures soar back into the mid 70s Saturday with low 80s on tap Sunday. Blustery winds will move in, especially on Sunday, creating high fire danger for the Denver metro and plains.
Seasonal temperatures along with afternoon showers make a comeback next Monday. Look for highs to cool into the mid 60s to low 70s for much of next week.
