DENVER — After a stunning, mostly sunny day in the upper 70s, big changes are on the way Thursday and into the weekend!
First, let's talk Thursday. Temperatures will return to the mid to upper 70s around the Denver metro area with increasing clouds during the afternoon.
A few afternoon spring storms are possible along the I-25 corridor but stronger cells will be possible along the northeastern plains. This will be the first day of the season with potentially severe weather in the state. Areas along the I-76 corridor have the best shot at seeing large hail, damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes Thursday evening. In fact, some of these strong to severe storms could linger around during the overnight hours.
Cooler weather will start to settle in Friday and into the weekend as another storm pulls into the state. We'll see highs in the upper 60s Friday ahead of the next cold front. It rolls in late Friday into Saturday bringing much cooler temperatures in the mid 50s for the weekend.
So far, it looks like a super soaker storm with up to an inch or two of water around the Denver metro area through Sunday. Put the fertilizer on now! The mountains could see 4 to 8 inches of new snow — maybe more! Stay tuned as the storm gets closer!
