Cooling weather and potential rainfall heading to Colorado
Colorado Weather Forecast for Upcoming Weekend and Events
Colorado is gearing up for a warm and sunny weekend, with temperatures expected to cool down slightly and approach normal levels. According to weather forecasts, the upcoming weekend will be warm and mostly sunny, with highs in the mid-to-upper eighties and lows in the forties.
The weather is expected to be favourable for outdoor activities, including the Broncos game and various festivals. The Sans Souci Festival (Aug 29-31) and the start of Oktoberfest celebrations (Aug 29-31) are upcoming, and current forecasts suggest no major weather disruptions during these dates. However, moisture and possible increasing clouds may begin next week, so it's advisable to monitor updated forecasts by Sunday afternoon if planning outdoor events towards the end of the weekend and early next week.
There is a low chance of storms this weekend, but some hazy skies may be caused by smoke transported from a wildfire in southern Utah. No severe wildfire weather conditions or storm-driven wind events are predicted for the weekend itself.
For those in the mountains, temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s. There is a good chance of afternoon storms in the mountains on Saturday, and rain showers could help with ongoing fires. Some mountain storms may come with gusty winds and lightning, potentially sparking new fires.
In the Front Range and plains, high temperatures will be in the upper 80s and low 90s. Storms in the Front Range and plains could potentially spark new fires, and there is a better chance of storms for those tailgating before the Broncos game at Empower Field. The weather forecast for the Broncos game at Empower Field does suggest potential storms during the beginning of the game, but the second half of the game is expected to be dry.
