Denver weather: Storms brewing in the afternoon with big hail on the horizon

After a week of glorious sunshine, Denverites can expect some afternoon storms — with some serious hail possible.

Severe storms are possible in the foothills and Interstate 25 corridor Saturday afternoon, with strong winds up to 60 mph and hail that could reach 1 inch in diameter, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

The storms will spread across the plains during the evening, forecasters said.

Clouds will rule the day before the storms arrive, with highs in the mid-60s.

After Saturday, however, temperatures will rebound into the 70s with plenty of sunshine for the upcoming week.
