Remember the other day, when it was still summer? Hold on to that for warmth.

Today, we take our first real step into fall, and it’s going to be so unpleasant. The National Weather Service says it’ll be mostly cloudy with a high around 63. There’s a chance of rain before 1 p.m., then a chance of thunderstorms from 1 to 4 p.m. After that the NWS says showers are likely and there will possibly be a thunderstorm. Overall, the chance of precipitation is 60 percent.

That’s all a very complicated way of saying it’s going to rain and maybe also get noisy.

Anyway, all of those conditions will remain the same overnight, when the low will be near 46.

On Sunday, we’re facing more of the same. Hope you’ve got a good book and a Netflix password.

Denver’s getting a new neighborhood called the River Mile — eventually. Here’s what has to happen first.
