A One Day Cool-Down for Wednesday

By Ed Greene

DENVER (CBS4) - A few very strong thunderstorms fired up this afternoon out on the eastern plains, a few of them turned severe, producing large hail and heavy rains. Storm chances continue well into the night, especially on the plains. Denver will also see scattered storms or showers overnight. The high in Denver on Tuesday reached 85 degrees. With the passage of a weak cold front, the high drops into the mid 70s for Wednesday - again with scattered showers and storms.

Thursday the high warms back into the low to mid 80s with that chance for scattered storms staying in the forecast. Friday looks like more of the same.

For the weekend ahead - look for only isolated storms Saturday with a high in the mid to upper 80s; we'll complete the weekend partly sunny ad mostly dry with a seasonal high in the upper 80s.
