Today’s Forecast:
Hot and hazy today across southern Colorado... but not as much as what we've seen over the last few days. Jet stream winds will keep some of the heaviest smoke up in northern Colorado today and then east out into Denver and Sterling. Here at home there will be some clearing in smoke from the San Luis Valley out to the east in southern El Paso and northern Pueblo counties.
We should stay pretty dry today but weak energy could drop some virga across El Paso County and a few storms are possible east near Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Kit Carson counties.
COLORADO SPRINGS: High: 90; Low: 60. Hot and hazy today with breezy daytime conditions. Virga is possible across town today with strong gusty winds possible, but no rain is expected to make it to the ground.
PUEBLO: High: 96; Low: 63. Hot, dry, hazy, and breezy today through the afternoon.
CANON CITY: High: 92; Low: 64. Hot and dry today with breezy and hazy daytime conditions.

MOUNTAINS: High: 80s; Low: 50s. Hot and hazy over the mountains with dry skies across the region. We'll see less smoke today compared to the last few days, but it'll still be smoky and hazy through the day.
