Another Hot Day With More Severe Storms Northeast Wednesday

By Ed Greene

DENVER (CBS4) - Storms that were found over the western two-thirds of the state in the afternoon made their way over to the front range. One storm developed over northern Boulder County moved south and blasted a direct hit on the Denver metro area with strong winds, heavy rains, lightning thunder and hail! The northeastern portion of the state - that was hammered by storms on Monday - was hot and dry. That may change as the evening goes on: a strong line of severe storms is moving south out of Wyoming and could move into northeastern Colorado by late this evening and continue over the eastern border area moving south all the way to the southern border during the overnight hours. Denver could see an isolated storm or shower, then skies will clear with low tonight around 60 degrees. Partly cloudy again for Wednesday with only a chance for isolated storms and a high near 90.

Thursday, the next system moves in with more in the way of heavy rains with the storms - less in the way of severe weather and cooler temperatures - a high only in the mid to upper 70s! More of the same Friday - widespread rain with a few storms and a high in the upper 70s. Just in time for the weekend, we start to warm up and dry out: Partly cloudy Saturday, scattered storms and a high in the low 80s; Partly cloudy Sunday with only isolated storms and a high in the mid to upper 80s.
