Scattered thunderstorms are expected before 3 p.m. and after 5 p.m., the National Weather Service forecasted, estimating the likelihood of rain and thunderstorms at 80%. However, following a day of tornado watches Thursday, the NWS said that threat is low.
Forecasters expect storms to develop over the mountains by midday and to move east across Front Range cities this afternoon, hitting the plains through evening, weather forecasters said.
The strongest storms will likely be found along and to the south and east of the Palmer Divide, forecasters said. The greatest threat of severe weather is on the plains south of Interstate 70.
These severe storms may contain hail up to an inch in diameter and wind gusts up to 60 mph, according to weather forecasters. Cities along the Front Range urban corridor may encounter 1-inch hail and heavy rain, leading to localized flooding.
Areas in northeast Colorado — including eastern Adams county, southwestern Morgan county and southeastern Weld county — are under a flood advisory.
The high temperature in Denver on Friday will be 73 degrees, weather forecasters said. They expect temperatures to increase again in the coming days, reaching 81 degrees Saturday, 87 degrees Sunday and passing 90 degrees for Monday’s high.
