As the mild drizzle continues to grace Denver this morning, residents are bracing for a wetter turn of events. According to the National Weather Service, the city is currently facing slight showers with temperatures hovering at a cool 41°F, and humidity reaching up to 92%. Visibility remains clear at 10 miles, despite the increasing precipitation.
The weather service advises that by afternoon, Denverites can expect to see heavier rains, with a strong likelihood of thunderstorms after 3 pm. The high today is anticipated near 59°F with light and variable winds shifting northeast at 5 to 9 mph, and occasional gusts possibly reaching 15 mph. The chance of precipitation stands firmly at 80%.
Looking ahead to tonight, it seems the moisture isn't going anywhere quickly. The forecast, obtained from the National Weather Service, predicts more rain before 3 am, with a transition potentially to a mix of rain and snow. The ordeal may include some thunder, with low temperatures around 34°F.
Winds will remain consistent with gusts again potentially reaching up to 15 mph, and the chance of precipitation increases to 90%, though with little to no snow accumulation expected.By Sunday, Denver can anticipate a calmer weather pattern, albeit still unsettled, with a 40% chance of rain and snow showers before noon. The remainder of the day should see mostly cloudy skies and a high near 51°F.
The upcoming week, as reported by the National Weather Service, seems to uphold this pattern of unpredictability. Monday might offer a brief respite with mostly sunny skies and temperatures peaking around 63°F. However, the rest of the week looks to bring successive waves of showers and cloudy days, with another system arriving Monday night through Tuesday evening, offering a higher probability of rainfall and breezy conditions.
For those seeking more granular details, the Hazardous Weather Outlook provided by the National Weather Service cautions against scattered showers continuing into Sunday afternoon and evening. The advisory also mentions the chance for spotty showers to carry on through much of the coming week. This extended forecast should prompt locals to keep their rain gear at hand, prepare to periodically move quickly inside, and possibly dust off those snow shovels, as bouts of snow showers punctuate the week, though with minimal accumulation expected on the plains.
