Watching For Scattered Afternoon Storms

By Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) - Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all of our service members and their families, both past and present!

After a mostly sunny and quiet start to the day we'll see some clouds building by the noon hour and they will give way to scattered showers and thunderstorms.

The best window for these will be between 12-4 pm in the mountains, between 3-6 pm along the I-25 urban corridor and between 5-9 pm on the eastern plains.

By no means will today's forecast be a washout but you may have to briefly move the BBQ inside.

The rest of the week looks fairly quiet with a drying and warming trend expected.
