Today’s Forecast:
We are going to finally start to feel like Summer again with hot and dry weather across most of the region!
Gusty winds out of the south and southwest will work with sunshine to warm the plains into the 80s and the mountains into the 60s & 70s. Wind gusts in the mountains and valleys could be in the 30 mph range, and 20 mph range over the plains.
Drier, hot and WINDY for most in the mountains and I-25 corridor today, but we could spark a few storms in the plains this afternoon, generally between 4 to 7 pm. pic.twitter.com/Sx5FYxQAB7
