Extended Outlook:
Hot highs and smoky skies will continue through Wednesday before a change in the weather pattern brings us the potential for a cooler and unsettled end to the work week. A strong area of low pressure will bring the potential for heavy rain to the mountains on Wednesday, followed by more solid chances for rain and thunderstorms to the Plains on Thursday. Some storms on Thursday could turn severe. Moisture will largely depart the forecast area this weekend as daily storms will remain possible over the mountains.
