COLORADO, USA — FORECAST BY: Meteorologist Laurann Robinson
FORECAST AT A GLANCE: Scattered storms return Friday afternoon.
Rain and snow showers push into the western slope, high country early Friday. Then, we'll watch for early afternoon storms across the eastern plains, with lighter thundershowers to the west, along the foothills. Denver, and the rest of the front range, will be the last to see any action Friday, with showers and pop-up storms waiting until the later afternoon to evening hours to hit the I-25 corridor. In the meantime, we'll see mostly cloudy skies and highs in the lower 70s.
Overnight, showers and storms become more isolated. Lows stay mild, in the upper 40s and lower 50s, across the eastern half of Colorado.
For the weekend, plan for soggy, cooler weather. Showers push in into the front range and eastern plains, from the southeast, during the morning hours. Heavy cloud cover and persistent rain showers will keep afternoon highs a bit cooler, maxing out in the middle 60s across the urban corridor.
Sunday, temperatures rise a bit, returning to the lower 70s. But be prepared for another day of scattered rain showers with isolated storms.
