As we put a cap on an eventful weather week, the extended weekend outlook is a bit of a mixed bag.

Friday morning we are seeing a good bit of low clouds across the Front Range and these clouds and whether they hang around or not will determine our weather today.  If the clouds stay that should keep temperatures down and help to prevent a recurrence of the severe weather we saw on Wednesday.  However, if the clouds move out, temperatures are going to climb and that coupled with the moisture in the atmosphere could make for a stormy afternoon.  No Flash Flood Watches have been issued for today - yet - but they are a possibility so be aware.

Saturday and Sunday should be beautiful days as we see hotter temperatures return and less moisture.  Both days there should be lots of sun and temperatures right around 90 degrees. There is enough instability and moisture in the atmosphere for the chance of locally heavy rain from thunderstorms.  But, the chance of these reaching damaging levels with high winds or hail is low.
