Summer officially started this morning with the summer solstice at 8:57 a.m.
After three pretty hot and dry days, thunderstorms return tonight for the Front Range and the plains. These storms could turn severe later Wednesday into overnight. We're looking at a risk of large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain. A flood watch is in effect for portions of the eastern plains through Thursday morning.
Temperatures will cool a bit by Thursday and we'll see more afternoon thunderstorms. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s.
It'll warm up and dry out Friday through the weekend. Expect highs to return to the 80s under a sunny sky each afternoon. It will be a beautiful start on Sunday for Denver's Pride Parade. We'll see 60s early that morning, with 70s during the parade.
