Extended outlook forecast:
We'll call Monday a transition day before our first real taste of heat in 2023 arrives. With a strong ridge of high pressure shifting over Southern Colorado, we could see the potential for record setting highs on both Tuesday and Wednesday. While this should equate to 80s for Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Canon City, a few lower 90s will be possible I think over the eastern Plains and lower Arkansas River Valley.
A slight increase in winds late next week could bring the fire danger threat back to some areas before our next storm moves in late Friday night.
