| - | Temperatures will tack on another degree or two today with afternoon highs topping out in the upper 90's to lower 100's over the plains. The record high for Denver today is 102 degrees. |
| - | Much like yesterday moisture is minimal with dew points lowering into the 30's resulting in a build up of clouds this afternoon and isolated high-based thunderstorms favoring the foothills and adjacent plains W of I-25. Storms that develop today will generally produce gusty winds and sprinkles over the plains with better chances for measurable rain in the foothills. Many areas will trend completely dry today. |
| - | Best chances for isolated thunderstorm coverage will be between 2-8pm. As sunset approaches any shower and thunderstorm activity will diminish with dry conditions for the later evening and overnight period. |
A LOOK AHEAD: Remaining HOT on Saturday but moisture will begin to increase leading to a more active thunderstorm day. Widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms will be weak to moderate in nature with some storms producing measurable rain and providing some relief from the heat. A cold front will move through overnight Saturday cooling temperatures into the 80's on Sunday and increasing surface moisture leading to stronger thunderstorms with the potential to produce brief heavy rainfall.
