DENVER — FORECAST BY: Meteorologist Chris Bianchi
THE FORECAST AT A GLANCE: Cloud cover thickens, with scattered showers and isolated storms following behind, late Saturday. None of these storms is expected to become severe, but we'll watch for the possibility for heavy downpours, gusty winds, lightning and thunder. Overnight lows stay mild, only dropping into the middle 40s.
Sunday, we'll celebrate mom under gloomy skies and wet weather. Cloud cover stays heavy all day, with spotty morning rain showers (mostly across the Palmer Divide), before becoming more widespread and scattered, midday. We'll watch for more isolated storm possibilities, while again, none are likely to become severe. Afternoon temperatures will look a lot like what we saw Saturday, with highs in the middle 60s.
As we move into the workweek, warm weather takes over! Highs soar into the lower to middle 70s, Monday. We'll see scattered, brief showers to the west, mostly across the western slope and high country. The front range and eastern plains are likely to stay mostly dry and sunny.
Our next system is looking to move in, late Tuesday. We'll start the day sunny and warm, with highs climbing even farther, into the middle to upper 70s. But midday, we'll watch for a front to bring in scattered rain showers and storm chances.
This front will also drop temperatures for Wednesday, as highs max out in the middle 60s. We'll also watch for more late-day scattered showers and storms to return.
Sunny, dry and warm weather settles in as we head toward next weekend. The sunny skies will allow temperatures to rise into the lower 70s Thursday, then into the upper 70s/lower 80s next Friday and Saturday.
