Today should be a typical early June day with afternoon temperatures climbing above 80 in the lower elevations and the development of a scattering of afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Saturday will start out on the warm side of the cold front, but during the afternoon (maybe late morning in Cheyenne) we are likely to see a windshift to the northeast and a trend toward cooler temperatures. A generally cloudy period is likely late Saturday into early Sunday with some thunderstorms late Saturday and maybe some fog or drizzle Saturday night or Sunday morning. The clouds will probably break up during the day Sunday, but temperatures will likely remain below 70 for the highs Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.

Although the shift to cooler weather will be statewide, the magnitude of the cool-down and the chance for rain will be lower in West Slope areas.
