Today’s Forecast:
We're going back to the high heat today and tomorrow. High temperatures in the plains will be in the 90s today but we'll see a few more triple digits by Wednesday. We won't have any record-breaking heat today, but it'll still be uncomfortable to work outside in the afternoon.
Smoke is expected to be thicker today and leave a hazy across the skies in central and eastern Colorado. This smoke is from fires in Arizona, Utah, and western Colorado.
COLORADO SPRINGS: High: 92; Low: 61. Sunny and hazy skies through the early afternoon with mostly cloudy conditions by the end of the day. We could see a few gusty winds come out of dry thunderstorms at the end of the day with very hot afternoon conditions.

MOUNTAINS: High: 80s; Low: 50s. We'll see increased smoke blow into our region from fires in western Colorado, as well as smoke trapped under a ridge of heat from fires in Arizona and Utah. We could see an isolated spotty mountain storm late today, but most of us will be dry and maybe just see some gusty winds come out of dry thunderstorms.
Extended Outlook:
Wednesday will be the hottest day of the week with highs in the mid 90s in Colorado Springs and right around 101 in Pueblo. We'll get a cold front to move us back to the mid 80s and lower 90s by Thursday, and we should be much cooler by Friday and Saturday. Rain chances are much higher by Friday and Saturday.
