Tonight's Forecast:
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible through this evening, mainly focused north of Highway 50 and east of the interstate. Severe potential is low, but if storms do turn severe, 60 mph wind gusts and hail up to 1.5" in diameter will be possible. Another round of rain is expected to develop after midnight as a cold front drops into the state, increasing the upslope flow potential across Southern Colorado. Rain and isolated thunderstorms will continue through Monday morning, with the potential for a wet morning commute in some areas.

Extended Outlook:
Monday's cool down will be super short-lived as the heat returns by the middle of the week. The ridge of high pressure responsible for the heat will be peak on Wednesday, with 90s and 100s on tap for the lower elevations. As the heat ridge breaks down, our potential for thunderstorms will pick back up by Thursday. A cold front will follow on Friday, ushering in cooler weather and better chances for severe weather to close out the week.
