Denver weather turns sunnier on Friday, with highs near 90 before the weekend heat builds fast. The forecast then pushes temperatures into the mid-90s on Saturday and Sunday, giving the city a stretch of hot, mostly sunny days.
Friday also carries a chance of an isolated storm. Any lingering storms should move out by Friday night, when skies are expected to stay clear and lows should settle near the 60-degree mark.
Denver Friday heat
Sunshine is back over Denver on Friday, and mainly sunny skies should help temperatures reach seasonal highs near 90. That keeps the day warm before the stronger weekend heat arrives.
People in Denver and across the foothills, Front Range and eastern plains also face a chance of isolated storms Friday afternoon and evening. The same setup brings a risk of flash flooding at the Aspen Acres burn scar if heavy downpours develop.
Saturday and Sunday
Saturday is expected to bring highs in the mid-90s, and Sunday should do the same. Wind is expected to pick up Sunday afternoon, adding another layer to outdoor planning as the hot stretch continues.
That pattern does not ease much after the weekend. Monday is expected to reach the upper 90s with mainly sunny skies, and Tuesday should stay in the upper 90s with plenty of sunshine. Wednesday remains hot with highs in the middle-90s.
Front Range and Thursday
The breezy winds are expected to linger into next week before they begin to slow a little by Thursday afternoon. Even then, highs are still expected to be in the mid-90s.
For anyone planning time outdoors, the practical read is straightforward: Friday is the only day with storm chances in the forecast, while Saturday, Sunday and the days after it turn much hotter and stay that way.
