6:41 p.m. | A flash flood warnng has been issued for the Denver metro area.
Storms are expected to move east of the area by midnight. Expect low clouds over the Front Range and plains early, with hazy sunshine through mid-morning. Lows will drop to the upper 50s and low 60s.
The Front Range and plains will likely see scattered storms again on Thursday afternoon. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s for highs in Denver. Expect dry conditions to start, with increasing clouds through the day, followed by storms and showers into the late afternoon and early evening. There will be a lower risk for severe weather tomorrow.
Hotter and drier weather will again return to most of Colorado for the weekend. Highs will be in the mid-90s in the Denver area on Saturday and Sunday. In the mountains, highs will be in the upper 70s to middle 80s.
Cooler and rather pleasant weather can be expected early next week - perhaps a little taste of Autumn!
