“Some of these storms may be severe across the plains,” according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. “Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats, though an isolated tornado is also possible.”

In Denver, there’s a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 5 p.m., the weather service said. Some Denver-area storms may be severe, with large hail and strong winds. The high temperature in the city on Saturday will top out near 75 degrees.

Severe thunderstorms, with southerly winds up to 45 mph, will hit the Eastern Plains again on Sunday afternoon, roughly along and east of a line from Sterling to Akron, according to the weather service. Mostly dry conditions will prevail along the Interstate 25 corridor and into the mountains.

On Monday in Denver skies will be sunny and the high temperature will be about 78 degrees, the weather service said.
