Today’s Forecast:
Get ready for some serious heat across Colorado today, we're reaching for records in Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo, and even Alamosa!
Heat will quickly pick up across the region with 90s and even a stray triple digit by lunch, and a few showers and thunderstorms from the late afternoon through the early evening.
Be sure and take breaks if you're working in the heat today, and be sure to stay hydrated. Heat stroke can set in quickly if you become dehydrated and your body can't cool itself by sweating.
