Will Colorado’s Storms Clear Before 4th of July Fireworks? Here’s What to Expect

As Coloradans gear up for Fourth of July celebrations, the weather is shaping up to be a bit of a mixed bag—but there’s good news for fireworks fans.

Heading into Thursday, a 30–40% chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms is in the forecast across Denver and much of the state. These storms are expected to be scattered and short-lived, typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes, followed by breaks of sun and clouds.

That same pattern continues into the 4th, with spotty storms possible during the afternoon and early evening. Fortunately, clearing skies are expected around sunset (8–9 p.m.), giving most communities a green light for evening fireworks shows.

Temperatures will stay warm and summery, with highs in the 80s and 90s, and evening temps in the 70s—perfect for outdoor festivities once the skies settle.
