Last Weekend of May is looking good

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:01]And here is First Alert Chief Meteorologist Dave Aguilera. Dave, going to be a lovely weekend to get outside.

[00:00:06]>> I think it is, yeah. All this week we were we were worried about some rain coming in, and there might be a little bit on Saturday, but that's going to be about it, I think. All things considered, it's going to be a super super duper weekend coming our way. Last one of the month on the way. Out there across the city, we've had some gusty winds from time to time as we look out our weather window, but most of the rain has been north Denver all the way up into Weld County this afternoon. So, the drive this afternoon has been really nice at least in the metro area itself.

[00:00:35]At the top of the show, we talked about a tornado touching down up in Weld County, and not a lot of storm action this afternoon, but just enough to get a little spin up right outside of Windsor here. You can see that storm just blossoming up right about the 5:00 hour there. And as we go in a little bit tighter, it's right around the New Windsor Reservoir there. Severance is right here. Here's the reservoir here, and you can see where we had the reports of that spin up coming through. Also have had a few reports of some of the storms dropping a few funnels here and there.

[00:01:08]We were watching for severe weather, but really the only severe warnings were for this line of storms that popped from Cheyenne Wells all up into Burlington.

[00:01:15]And all these reports you see here, anywhere from 60 to 66 mph wind gusts in places like Burlington, Aurora, and at least quarter-size hail in Firstview and the Kit Carson area as well. So, a little damage in some of those communities down that way.

[00:01:31]Look at the big picture here. We've got this moisture coming in across the west.

[00:01:35]There's another band of showers and thunderstorms developing around Durango and Telluride out here, and that's from a cutoff low that's completely separate from the moisture from the subtropical low that we have here now. Now, we were worried this was going to slide into Colorado over the weekend, but what will happen is that will track up into Salt Lake City and up into Wyoming and tap into some of this dry air down here around Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and the water vapor imagery here, the black and the tan is the real dry stuff, and that's going to kind of shoot up into Colorado this weekend delivering a very nice weekend our way. I've got the future cast up here on the wall here, so let's roll you through that. As we go through the evening tonight, most of the storms in the next few hours will lose their punch and will be mostly sunny here to start the day. The exception, Grand Junction up into Meeker in the northwestern corner, cloudy tomorrow, maybe a sprinkle. That's the offshoots of that low that will go up into Wyoming in the afternoon, could see a couple of showers and thunderstorms over northern Colorado. Denver has a chance of it, but it's a small chance in the afternoon, and then we go into Sunday, we clear it out, a mostly sunny day statewide coming up on Sunday. So, 70s and 80s here in the east, 60s and 50s in the mountains, we'll be in the 70s out there on the western slope as well. Here's a look at some of our neighborhoods now, 77 in Sedalia, the same in Aurora, and if we pop up into the Boulder neighborhoods up there, Crossroads, Palo Park, Wonderland, all the way down to Mesa Point, right in the mid-70s tomorrow, so not bad at all. So, 77 is normal, we got that, 82 sunny and dry on Sunday, and then the first full week of the new month into the 80s and each afternoon, especially Monday and Tuesday, scattered showers and thunderstorms coming your way.

[00:03:17]>> Time now for the
