Yesterday’s cloud cover is clearing out and we can expect increased sunshine and warmer temperatures over the next several days as high pressure strengthens over the Rocky Mountains. Summer-like warmth will arrive by the end of the week, though we will see at least a chance of isolated thunderstorms each day through the weekend.
Wednesday:
Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with near seasonal temperatures as highs reach the upper 60s. A brief afternoon thunderstorm can’t entirely be ruled out, mainly over the higher elevations, but for the most areas will stay dry.
Thursday:
A beautiful day is expected with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 70s. Once again, a brief afternoon thunderstorm can’t entirely be ruled out, but for the most part, Thursday is looking dry.
Friday:
Temperatures will warm up to around 80 in the valley (well above average for late May), though clouds will increase late in the day with isolated thunderstorms developing.
Saturday:
Another very warm day is expected, but clouds will also be on the increase as we shift to a southwest flow with a better chance of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Only light rain is expected at this time, but storms could produce frequent cloud to ground lightning.
Sunday:
A weak cold front will move through on Saturday night, ushering in drier conditions on Sunday with slightly cooler temperatures and only a slight chance of an afternoon storm.
