We will see another day of hazy sunshine as smoke continues to seep into Colorado from wildfires burning in Canada. We will be under air quality advisories until at least 4 p.m. In the mountains, there is much less smoke and haze and widely dispersed thunderstorms will again be possible this afternoon.
Today will be partly cloudy with lighter smoke and haze for Denver and the plains. Highs will be in the upper 70s to 80s and the chance of rain will remain low along and east of Interstate 25. In the mountains and foothills, scattered showers and thunderstorms after- midday can be expected with highs between the mid-60s and the 70s.
A cold front will arrive on Wednesday and will increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms over the Denver area and the eastern plains. We will see a marginal risk of intense activity with these storms.
Air quality will improve and smoke will lessen Wednesday as thunderstorms become a greater possibility. Highs will drop back into the low to mid 70s for the lower elevations and the upper 50s to mid 60s in the mountains.
Showers and thunderstorms will be likely again on Thursday with strong to severe thunderstorms possible. Highs will be around 70 degrees in Denver and in the upper 50s to 60 degrees in the mountains.
Memorial Day weekend will generally be pleasant, but there will be afternoon thunderstorms every day. The peaks will be in the 70s in the plains and in the 60s in the mountains.
