After a high in the lower 90s in Colorado Springs on Sunday, today's forecast will be even hotter as temperatures climb into the 90s and 100s across the I-25 corridor and eastern Plains. A Heat Advisory has been issued for parts of El Paso and Fremont counties today. In order to avoid heat related illnesses, try to plan outside fun for the morning or evening hours, and not during the hottest times of the day.
