Another day in Colorado, another chance for monsoon driven thunderstorms!
We've been warm this afternoon and we have a lot of moisture flowing over the mountains and plains. Storms will kick up over the mountains this afternoon, growing stronger as they move east into the plains.

Pueblo forecast: Low: 62; High: 94; Hot with a chance for isolated thunderstorms through the evening. The strongest storms are likely going to stay east of the city, as storm energy is better out there.
