Behind the cold front Saturday will be much cooler and begin with up-slope clouds and possible drizzle. There will be strong overhead jet stream that enhances the convective lift by afternoon. That will deliver a risk for more severe storms and this includes the Denver metro area. With strong winds and hail being the main threat.
