DENVER — The heat that roasted Colorado on Wednesday will linger over the state again Thursday.
Denver reached 97 degrees on Wednesday, tying the record high for June 12 previously set in 1952.
Thursday will be another hot and mostly dry day in the Mile High City. Denver is forecast to hit 95 degrees Thursday, just shy of the record high of 99 set in 2022.
Denver is more than 10 degrees above the seasonal average in the mid 80s.
There is a slight chance for an isolated afternoon storm Thursday in the Denver area, however, the majority of severe storms will likely stay on the eastern Colorado plains.
According to 9NEWS meteorologist Chris Bianchi, a greater and more widespread risk for severe weather moves in Friday.
Large hail and damaging winds are possible with Friday's storms, with a higher risk north and east of Denver. Highs will be cooler Friday with highs in the mid-80s in Denver.
Denver is looking to be dry and warm for Saturday and Sunday, with only isolated storms for Saturday and a dry Father's Day. Highs reach the low 90s on Saturday and the mid-90s for Sunday.
