Widely scattered thunderstorms will rumble off the mountains and across the eastern plains through early tonight. These storms will generally be of moderate strength with some small hail and gusty winds to 55 mph. The storms will diminish overnight with clearing skies. Lows will be in the upper 50s for the Denver area and in the 40s in the mountains.
High temperatures Friday will be in the upper 80s to low 90s across the Front Range. Western Colorado will stay hot, dry and breezy at times with highs in the 90s. In between, the weather will be delightful in the mountains with temperatures in the 70s to middle 80s. Widely scattered thunderstorms will develop again in the afternoon
Over the weekend, expect highs in the low 90s on Saturday and in the mid 80s on Sunday with a better chance of afternoon storms. There will be more moisture in place across Colorado, thanks to an increase in monsoon flow from the south. On Sunday, a weak cold front will also slip into northern Colorado.
Early next week will be warmer again, with a continued chance for afternoon and evening thunderstorms - such is the middle of August in Colorado!
