It was another day in the mid-90°s in Denver, but relief from the heat is on the way! The Front Range is in for a dramatic 20-degree drop in temperatures by the end of the work week.
Look for increasing clouds throughout the evening along with a few thunderstorms. Some cells could turn severe, bringing large hail and damaging winds to parts of the I-25 corridor. We'll have brief but heavy downpours along with a bit of lightning.
Partly cloudy skies take over as temperatures drop into the mid-60s overnight.
It'll be a sunny start to your Wednesday with a few thunderstorms developing just after lunchtime around the metro area. It's the grand finale of the sizzling hot stretch in Denver, as temperatures soar into the low- to mid-90s again Wednesday afternoon.
A strong cold front drops into the state late Wednesday and that will drop our highs into the 70s Thursday and Friday!
This storm will also bring some drenching rains and strong thunderstorms to much of the state. And it looks like the cool, wet weather sticks around for the start of the weekend. Hopefully this meaningful moisture helps firefighters tackling all of the wildfires burning across the state.
