Denver weather: Highs in the mid- to upper 90s Wednesday ahed of hotter Thursday

Temperatures will soar well into the 90s over the next two days, with some triple-digit heat for the eastern plains. More storms and showers are possible by Friday. High temperatures are expected to increase across Colorado this week and tomorrow, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-to-upper 90s across the state, with highs expected to be in mid-90s by lunchtime and even higher in the mid to upper 90s on Thursday. Despite a few storms may pop up, there is a low risk of severe weather, but these will not significantly impact the state's heat. An Air Quality Warning is in effect for the Front Range due to high levels of ozone and high temperatures. Thursday will likely be the hottest day of the year so far with highs around 95 to 100 degrees across the Urban Corridor. A weak cold front will slip into Colorado late Thursday into Friday, bringing a potential for more widespread thunderstorms, which could potentially turn severe. So far, it appears to be a warmer and drier Father's Day weekend.

DENVER — It's getting hot, hot, hot! We'll see 60s and plenty of sunshine this morning but it won't stay cool for long.

Statewide temperatures will skyrocket today and tomorrow as a ridge of high pressure builds in across the state.

We'll see low 90s by lunch and mid- to upper 90s by happy hour. Don't forget to the SPF and water if you're spending any time outdoors.

A couple of storms may drift off the foothills and onto the plains, but they won't bring much moisture or relief from the heat. If any storms do pop up, there's a very low risk those cells would turn severe. We'd likely just see some brief, gusty winds.

An Air Quality Warning is in effect until 4pm Wednesday for the Front Range as we're tracking high levels of ozone. If you have respiratory issues like asthma, consider limiting your time outdoors.

Thursday will likely be the hottest day of the year so far, with highs around 95 to 100 degrees across the Urban Corridor. Look for scorching sunshine and minimal moisture.

A weak cold front will slip into Colorado late Thursday into Friday, bringing back a chance for more widespread thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening. A few could turn severe, so keep your eyes to the sky!

So far, it looks like a warmer and drier Father's Day weekend to come.
