More Warmth Before Cool Down

By Lauren Whitney
DENVER (CBS4) -

After a few stormy days in Colorado, almost everyone stayed dry and much warmer today. We made it to the low 80s here in Denver, with barely a cloud in the sky. There were a few isolated showers on the plains, but no major thunderstorms like the past few days.

Thursday starts off dry, and once again we'll climb to the low 80s. However, there is a chance for a few isolated storms to fire up in the afternoon and evening. Especially for northeastern Colorado.

Fire danger will also be very high on Thursday thanks to an approaching cold front. Red Flag Warnings cover much of western and southern Colorado.

A better chance for storms heads our way on Friday when a cold front cruises through. Temperatures will fall to the 70s on Friday, and then the 50s on Saturday. We'll slowly warm back up through the end of the weekend with more sunshine by Sunday.
