Another day of warm temperatures and possible thunderstorms is expected Tuesday in the Denver area, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

But a big change in the forecast could come this weekend: snow.

For now, it’s more sunshine and possible afternoon storms. Tuesday’s forecast in Denver calls for a high near 86 degrees with rain possibly falling in the early afternoon, the weather service predicts. It is expected to be slightly cooler Wednesday with temps in the 70s and more possible afternoon showers.
