Denverites can expect to see mostly sunny skies on Wednesday, but enjoy the weather while it lasts because it likely won’t stick around for the rest of the week.
The National Weather Service in Boulder reported the spring season’s first severe storm threat likely headed to parts of northeast Colorado Thursday afternoon and evening, potentially bringing large hail and even a tornado with it.
Forecasters predict a 20% chance of rain showers after 4 p.m. Wednesday in Denver, but a high is expected around 78 degrees and a low of about 48 degrees with partly cloudy skies at night. That will make way for another warm day Thursday, though the chance of showers and thunderstorms increases to 40% in the afternoon, bringing wind gusts as high as 22 mph.
The National Weather Service’s hazardous weather outlook for the week for northeast and north central Colorado details a severe storm risk over the northeast plains Thursday. Golfball-sized hail and wind gusts up to 60 mph could result from one or two storms east from Sterling to Akron, in addition to the threat of a brief tornado.
“The rest of the period will remain cool and unsettled, as precipitation is expected to become more widespread across northeastern Colorado,” the weather outlook stated.
A little snow could accumulate in the high country, according to the weather service, including several inches in high elevations. The plains will likely receive rain showers and a few thunderstorms.
Colorado’s Front Range remains a magnet for hail and wind damage
