Denver. There's a severe thunderstorm watch on the table for Saturday, and this one has tornado written into it.
This isn't out of nowhere. May is Colorado's peak severe weather month.
Don't assume Sunday is the reprieve. Temperatures stay hot, storm chances stay elevated, and the setup looks similar to Saturday before the cold front arrives late Sunday night.
When that front clears through, Denver cools noticeably. And up in the high country, the moisture doesn't leave, it just gets cold enough to fall as snow.
Sunday through Tuesday carries shower and storm chances across the board. There's a lot of wet weather packed into a short window.
For Saturday, stay weather-aware in the afternoon and evening. Have a plan indoors ready to go.
