Good Morning! Today is Monday, August 17, 2026.
There will be a few scattered showers and thunderstorms around this afternoon and evening and there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms around tomorrow afternoon and evening as a couple disturbances pass through our area. The showers and thunderstorms will be more widespread tomorrow than they will be today. A couple of the thunderstorms that develop today and tomorrow may be severe with damaging winds (58+ mph) being the main threat, but large hail (1+” in diameter) is also possible. If you will be outdoors at all later on today or tomorrow, make sure you keep an eye to the sky.
Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy today and partly cloudy tomorrow, with the cloud cover increasing through the day. Some haze will linger across the region, but only minor air quality impacts are expected. High temperatures both days will be in the mid to upper 70s and low to mid 80s. Along the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain Front, breezy conditions are expected during the afternoon and evening hours, with sustained winds between 10 and 25 mph. Elsewhere, winds will generally range from 5 to 20 mph.
Wednesday and Thursday will feature lots of sunshine and dry conditions as high pressure is going to be in control of our weather. Friday will be partly to mostly sunny, with the cloud cover increasing during the afternoon and evening, as another disturbance begins to approach our area.
It is going to be very warm Wednesday through Friday as highs are going to be in the 80s and low 90s. There will also be a little bit of a breeze around in some areas on Friday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph.
