Strong thunderstorms rumbled over Denver and the northeast plains again on Thursday. The central and northern parts of the Denver area were especially hard hit with hail and flooding rains. The storms have died down and quiet weather will hold in the metro area overnight.
There will be another round of showers and thunderstorms on Friday with cooler temperatures. Friday will only have highs in the low 70s for Denver and in the 60s in the foothills west of town. The cooler temperatures will limit the amount of energy for severe storms in Denver. The far eastern counties of Colorado will still have some severe storms in the afternoon.
The western half of Colorado will remain very warm and dry - fire danger remains the main concern west of the Continental Divide.
The the holiday weekend, scattered thunderstorms will be possible with highs in the low to mid-80s for Denver and the 70s in the mountains. Looking ahead, the weather will be very warm on Monday with highs near 90 degrees in Denver.
The weather will stay warm, but not too hot for the Fourth of July. There will be a chance for some thunderstorms, but it does not appear to be a really wet holiday forecast!
