Heavy afternoon thunderstorms possible in parts of Colorado's Front Range and Denver metro area
A cold front is pushing across northern Colorado bringing with it cooler temps with showers and thunderstorms. We have a First Alert Weather Day posted for the potential of heavy rain developing during the afternoon drive across the Front Range and Urban Corridor.
The system should begin pushing through late morning into the early afternoon. Initially, it will shift the wind and increase the cloud cover. As the afternoon goes on showers and thunderstorms will develop after 2pm.
Some of the storms may drop heavy pockets of rain from the afternoon into the evening across the region. The heaviest of the rain may be between 5pm and 11pm over the Denver metro area.
Overnight into Friday morning the intensity of rainfall will decrease to just a few morning showers and fog forming up in some spots.
There will be a few afternoon showers on Friday with even cooler temperatures during the day.
