There's an chance for isolated severe storms, especially in the northeastern corner of the state. Damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph and large hail are possible in the strongest cells.

Starting Thursday, Colorado will shift gears. A ridge of high pressure building across the southern U.S. will usher in dry, stable air, dialing back rain chances significantly. Daytime highs will climb into the low to mid-90s across much of the state by Friday and Saturday — a sharp turn toward summer heat.

Extensive delays at major tri-state airports due to weather
NEW YORK (PIX11) — Travelers heading to major tri-state area airports may experience delays of up to two hours, according to the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday. As of 5:30 p.m. on Friday, delays were a little over two hours at LaGuardia Airport, nearly three hours at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and up to three and a half hours at Newark Liberty International Airport. More Local News The delays come as a result of wind and thunderstorms moving into the area, the FAA's website said. There's a 40% chance of rain for the evening according to forecasters from the National Weather Service. Showers are expected over the area between 11 p.m. into 2 a.m. Dominique Jack is a digital content producer from Brooklyn with more than five years of experience covering news.

Icy blast expected in ‘every state'
Australians nationwide are likely to wake up to frosty conditions in the coming days, as chilly morning ground temperatures are forecast across every state and territory. Frost alerts have been issued for several southeastern regions, including Canberra, where temperatures are expected to dip below freezing. Sky News meteorologist Marina Neuman described the frost forecast as 'widespread,' with cold conditions set to affect both the eastern and western parts of the country. The anticipated frost coverage spans a wide area, including the ACT, most of New South Wales, and parts of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia. 'That means the entire country, every single state, are likely to see frost at least somewhere within their respective state or territory,' Neuman said. She noted that some southeastern regions already faced 'icy cold' conditions on Friday morning, with Canberra reaching a low of just 1.3°C. The capital was forecast to plunge to – 5°C on Saturday, while Sydney was expected to see a minimum of 7°C. The Bureau of Meteorology issued frost warnings for areas in Victoria and South Australia. In northern Victoria, severe frosts could send the mercury as low as – 4°C, potentially causing significant damage to crops, according to the bureau. In South Australia, frosts and lows of around – 1°C were forecast for districts such as the Mid North, Upper South East, Murraylands, and Riverlands. A sheep graziers' warning has also been issued for the Snowy Mountains in NSW, with cold temperatures and north-westerly winds expected. Up north a band of cloud and rain has started forming over The Gulf of Carpentaria, bringing wet conditions to parts of northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. As Sunday progresses, this rain band is expected to move eastwards, reaching the Queensland coast. By the end of the day, much of eastern Queensland — from Townsville down to Brisbane — is likely to experience rainfall. The bureau's latest weather update said the rain would 'continue into Monday morning, clearing out of the state by Monday evening as the wet weather pushes into NSW'. 'The rain isn't expected to be heavy or cause flooding. However, it does come during the drier time of year, so may be disruptive for the start of the school holidays,' the bureau said. A cold front is expected to sweep through the southeast on Sunday, though Neuman noted it won't bring a major shift in temperatures. Sunday's forecast includes highs of 19°C in Sydney, 21°C in Port Macquarie, 20°C in Coffs Harbour, and 21°C in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 'What we're looking at is temperatures remaining right where they should be for this time of the year,' Neuman said. 'However, it might feel a bit cooler than that in Queensland because we have rainfall moving in. That's going to be all the way across the tropics, through the centre and well into the coastline, and so that could make it feel a bit cooler both Saturday as well as Sunday.' Maximum temperatures forecast for other capitals on Sunday include 13°C in Melbourne, 20°C in Perth, 16°C in Adelaide, 11°C in Hobart, 13°C in Canberra, and a warm 31°C in Darwin.

Outdoor graduation ceremony becomes 'mass casualty incident' as over 150 people fall ill to extreme heat: 'I couldn't breathe'
Several high school graduations in New Jersey were postponed after excessive heat during a two-part ceremony Monday caused what the Paterson city fire chief declared a "mass casualty incident," according to the Guardian. A "heat dome" began to descend on vast swaths of the Northeast and Midwest on Sunday, and over 100 million Americans endured a days-long extreme heat warning as dangerous temperatures blanketed Boston, New York City, and Baltimore. Over 150 people were sickened in Paterson, New Jersey, on Monday during a pair of high school graduation ceremonies, the Guardian reported. According to NBC News, the Paterson Fire Division initially responded to the first of the two events. During the morning ceremony, around 50 people fell ill because of the excess heat. A second ceremony, held in the afternoon, proceeded as scheduled, and another 100 attendees required medical attention. Of those sickened, nine were hospitalized. Paterson Mayor André Sayegh subsequently canceled all "recreational activities," declaring a state of emergency as the heat index approached 110 degrees. The heat index, or "apparent temperature," is what outside temperatures feel like when accounting for humidity. CBS News' coverage of the events underscored the insidious nature of high temperatures, showing how quickly heat-related illness can endanger anyone. Excess heat is a form of extreme weather, and over the past three decades, it has resulted in more annual deaths on average than hurricanes, tornadoes, and lightning strikes combined. Rising average global temperatures and warming seas have been likened to "steroids" when it comes to extreme weather. Heat waves, hurricanes, wildfires, and severe storms have always been part of weather patterns — but as the planet overheats, they've become far deadlier, costlier, and occur much more frequently.

Extreme heat poses risks even to the young and healthy, and in Paterson, graduates and spectators alike fell ill. "It was exhausting. I couldn't breathe, like my chest hurts," Rosa Parks High School graduate Ciarra Bailey told News12 New Jersey. Another attendee witnessed "people fainting around us." Existing climate models are "likely understating the relationship between climate change and persistent summer weather extremes today," climate researcher Michael Mann told CNN. The city of Paterson issued a heat warning on its website ahead of the ceremonies. Nevertheless, more than 150 people became seriously ill. In Paterson and on much of the East Coast, local municipalities opened cooling centers for residents without access to a climate-controlled environment. The incidents at Paterson's graduation ceremonies occurred early in the season, with the typically hotter months yet to come. As extreme heat waves become stronger and more frequent, awareness of the impact of climate on weather is important — particularly because heat-related illnesses are fast-moving and extremely dangerous. During a heat wave, staying hydrated and avoiding unnecessary exertion are two key ways to stay safe.
