Active weather across Colorado brings daily chances for rain and storms this Memorial Day Weekend
The warming trend across Colorado continues for Thursday afternoon with highs across the Front Range and plains climbing into the upper 70s.
CBS
It will be warm enough to see a few showers and storms over the high country this afternoon, with widely scattered chances moving into the plains by the late afternoon.
With drier air at the surface, most of us will just see some virga heading into Thursday afternoon, which could come with gustier winds.
CBS
By Friday, temperatures turn much warmer, climbing into the mid to upper 80s, with dry and sunny weather expected for most of Friday.
The late afternoon comes with showers and storm chances in northeastern Colorado, where the threat for severe weather has increased.
The storm potential increases in the late afternoon, which is when a few of these stronger to severe storms have the potential to develop.
CBS
The threat of severe weather becomes more widespread on Saturday, with the threat of severe storms pushing closer to the Front Range and I-25 corridor, including the Denver metro area.
CBS
Most storm chances increase late Saturday afternoon, so for those Saturday evening plans, you'll want to be flexible and keep an eye on the radar with the threat for severe storm development.
Shower and storm chances also pick up Saturday afternoon in the high country, with the wettest day of the weekend forecast for Sunday afternoon.
CBS
Sunday's risk of severe weather drops as temperatures drop. Highs on Sunday will only be in the mid-60s, and will likely be the wettest day of the holiday weekend.
By Memorial Day, highs begin to climb again as the chance for more showers and storms fires up that afternoon.
Be sure to have a way to get weather alerts if you will be out and about this holiday weekend.

1 person brought to hospital after White House water rescue
WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (WKRN) — First responders helped four people — one of whom is still in the hospital — after floodwaters swept their cars off the road in White House Sunday night. According to the White House Community Volunteer Fire Department, shortly after 9 p.m. on Sunday, June 15, crews were dispatched to an emergency involving three vehicles and four people in the water. The incident happened along a creek that rose quickly, with heavy rainfall turning into rushing water that swept away the cars on Bowling Branch Road. Officials said they quickly accessed all four people, one of whom was transported to the hospital while the other three left on their own. 'We had to go in and rescue, with the help of TWRA. We also paged out Gallatin Fire, Hendersonville Fire, which they both got canceled,' Tara Parker, the public information officer for the White House Community Volunteer Fire Department, said. Parker described the patients as out of breath and tired after they were rescued: 'Two of them were crying. One of them, he wasn't talking very much because he was trying to get some water out of his lungs and everything, but they were very happy to see us.' As of Monday, June 16, three of the individuals are reportedly doing alright, but one is still in the hospital. FORECAST: Middle Tennessee & Southern Kentucky Weather According to Parker, that area isn't prone to flooding, so it caught everyone off guard. 'As we were out last night we passed multiple people that was not following the turn around don't drown and driving through high fast moving water,' the department posted on Facebook Monday morning. 'As much as our swift water team loves to swim we would love to not have to pull people from rushing water if it can be prevented. So PLEASE Turn around don't drown!!!!' Parker provided additional details to News 2, saying personnel saw two people on motorcycles trying to drive through the floodwaters Sunday night. 'Even if you think your car's going to make it in, it's moving, it's moving a lot faster than you think it is,' she said. ⏩ The White House Community Volunteer Fire Department said it answers about 1,000 calls a year and runs mostly off donations.
