Warmer Thursday in Denver with fewer storms across Colorado

A few areas of patchy fog are expected Thursday morning which will eventually roll out before the best chance of seeing storms remains in areas across southern Colorado.

It looks like the threat of severe weather will be much lower Thursday in Colorado. Temperatures will warm a few degrees into the mid to upper 80s Thursday.

DENVER – After Wednesday’s rounds of severe weather in Colorado, expect fewer storms Thursday in the state as afternoon high temps gradually warm back into the 90s.

“We’re not completely out of the woods, we do expect more showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon,” said Denver7 weather forecaster Ryan Fish.

While most of the state should only see a slight chance of a general storm, an area from Pueblo to Trinidad is under a marginal risk (level 2 of 5) of seeing a severe storm.

As of early Thursday afternoon, the only weather watch issued is a flood watch in effect until 8 p.m. for several counties south of Denver.

Teller, El Paso, Eastern Fremont, Pueblo, Huerfano, Otero and Las Animas Counties are under the flood watch.

The best chance of seeing storms are generally in areas across southern Colorado.

Denver’s afternoon high temp on Thursday should reach 88 degrees before conditions warm up ahead of the weekend.

Friday should bring only a slight chance of a shower or storm and a high temp of 93 degrees.

On both Saturday and Sunday, a typical isolated storm is possible in the metro as temps warm into the low 90s before soaring closer to 100 degrees by the beginning of next week.
