Extended Outlook:
Monsoonal moisture starts to push deeper into Colorado on Wednesday, giving us more storms through the mountains and a few more storms that will hop into the I-25 corridor and plains through the afternoon. It will still be very hot tomorrow with mid 80s in the mountains and 90s to triple digits across I-25 and the plains. Thursday is the next best rain chance through southern Colorado, with highs falling a few degrees and more of a widespread rain from the mountains through the plains in the afternoon and evening. Daily thunderstorms are back in the forecast from Thursday through the early part of next week.
