Today’s Forecast:
Get ready to sweat, we're going to see serious summer heat today!
A heat ridge is going to push high temperatures into the 90s and low 100s across the plains today! We will probably stay too cool to break records today and tomorrow in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, but we still want you to stay hydrated and take breaks outside.
Storm chances in the mountains look sparse today and mostly west around the Continental Divide.
Colorado Springs forecast: High: 94; Low: 64. Sunny in the morning and cloudy by the end of the day with really hot afternoon temperatures. Highs will be in the mid 90s with dry skies.
Pueblo forecast: High: 100; Low: 64. Mostly sunny with increased late day clouds. We'll be very hot today and dry, with highs reaching 100 degrees.

Extended outlook forecast:
Thursday is going to be as hot as today, if not maybe a degree or two hotter in a few places. We'll see a better chance for spotty thunderstorms in the afternoon Thursday along the mountains and in a few spots of I-25.
Monsoon moisture becomes more prevalent from Friday through Saturday with daily storm chances moving off the mountains into the I-25 corridor. Sunday looks really hot and dry with more rain chances through the start of next week.
