DENVER — After an evening of severe storms along the northeastern plains, widespread, heavy rain showers will move into the Denver metro area late tonight and continue throughout the overnight hours. Look for a rumble of thunder, a bit of lightning and the possibility of localized flooding heading into Tuesday morning.
Most areas near and east of the Front Range have a good chance of picking up at least half of an inch of rain, with some spots potentially seeing over an inch by midday Tuesday. If storms start to train (meaning one after another over the same spot), flash flooding could become an issue, especially in burn scar areas or across parts of the northeast plains.
Tuesday afternoon will feel cooler and calmer as the main storm system slides off to the southeast. We'll see showers throughout the morning, then should see some clearing later in the day, with a few isolated storms. Highs will be about 20 degrees cooler than Monday, with upper 50s to low 60s along the Front Range.
Temperatures will gradually warm as the week goes on — into the 60s and 70s Wednesday through Friday. Keep the umbrellas handy as there will still be chances for scattered showers and storms most days.
Warmer and drier weather returns for the weekend, with highs near 80 degrees on Saturday and Sunday!
