Extended outlook forecast:
After a couple of hot and dry days, a cold front will push high pressure east late this week and bring some changes to our forecast. On top of a cooling trend through Friday, another plume of monsoon moisture will return to Southern Colorado. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms on Thursday will give way to more widespread rain chances and more beneficial moisture from Friday to Saturday. Rain chances will lessen slightly during the end of the holiday weekend, but with isolated thunderstorms remaining in our forecast on the Fourth of July.
