National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
314 AM MDT Sun Aug 16 2026
.DISCUSSION...Today and tonight...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon
and evening. A few of these storms could become strong to severe,
with the potential for strong winds, hail, and heavy rainfall.
Minimum RHs will remain above 30% for the plains and will drop
into the 20% to 30% range for the high valleys.
LONG TERM DISCUSSION...Monday through Thursday...
Warmer are drier conditions are expected for much of next week,
but no elevated fire weather conditions are expected. Minimum RHs
will remain above critical thresholds and recent heavy rainfall
will limit fire weather concerns.
...Thunderstorms imply strong gusty erratic winds...
...All surface winds are 20-Foot...10-Minute averaged winds...
...CWR is Chance of Wetting Rain - 0.10 inch or more liquid...
...24 HR Trends are based on averages over the respective zone
groups and may not match the actual forecast values
shown in those groups...
