Tonight's Forecast:
The main thunderstorm threat this evening will continue over the Plains and eastern parts of Colorado. Supercell development could lead to large hail and 60-70 mph wind gusts, with the main threat expected to wind down after sunset. The overnight hours will be hazy and smoky as the air quality locally remains poor due to the western Colorado wildfires.

Extended Outlook:
Our forecast is expected to dry out early next week as high pressure over the Great Basin strengthens and builds back towards Colorado. This will boost temperatures across the area, and by Tuesday, it will be hot! Near daily storm chances are expected towards the end of next week, with the focus of the afternoon convection being over the higher terrain.
