WEEKEND STORM CHANCES INCREASE

TONIGHT: Isolated evening showers and thunderstorms will be possible Thursday evening mainly across the Eastern Plains. And we may pick up a few stronger storms in far eastern Colorado this evening. Skies will gradually clear as we head overnight with morning lows Friday falling into the upper-50s and low-60s.

TOMORROW: Mix of sun and clouds with highs in the upper 80's for El Paso County and close to the triple digit mark for the Eastern Plains. Afternoon storms likely after 2pm.

WEEKEND: Happy 4th of July weekend! Heading into the 4th our chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be going up with more numerous showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening. These will be slow-moving storms as well so areas that get storms will likely receive a decent amount of rain over a short period of time. If you have outdoor plans, be prepared to move those plans inside until storms pass. With increased storm chances, afternoon temperatures will be tempered a bit with highs in the mid-80s. Sunday will also provide a generous chance for showers and thunderstorms.
