Thornton’s weekend weather to offer up a healthy dose of rain

Our weather this weekend won’t be very conducive to outdoor activities. It will, however, bring us a good bit of welcome rain.

Friday will be the warmest day of the three day period with highs in the upper 60s. We will be partly clear to mostly cloudy with some sprinkles of rain possible during the daytime hours. This evening, showers will become widespread and continue overnight. Lows tonight will be around 40 degrees.

Saturday will be a soaker. Look for rain throughout the day, heavy at times, with blustery winds. Highs will be in the mid-40s. Saturday night, rain will ease, particularly after midnight. Lows will be in the upper 30s.

Sunday will offer some improvement. Temperatures rebound a bit with a high in the mid to upper 50s. A few sprinkles of rain may be seen but any precipitation should be light.

All in all, Thornton could see rainfall totals across the three days of 1 to 3 inches. Have a great weekend!
