Really warm and dry conditions are moving into southern Colorado today and we'll warm near records through the afternoon.
The winds will stay light today, so even with low humidity, fire danger remains on the low through the afternoon.
Tonight, we'll stay cool with light winds and dry skies.

Extended outlook forecast:
Thursday is forecast to be the warmest day of the week with widespread 70s and a few 80s in the plains. We'll see very dry air and breezy conditions elevate fire danger across the plains on both Thursday and Friday, but Friday the fire danger will be more widespread due to windier conditions.
The weather will cool on Saturday with highs falling into the 50s and 60s through the afternoon. We'll stay windy and dry in the plains on Saturday, so fire danger will likely remain elevated to high.
Snow starts to fall over the western slope Friday night and continues through Saturday. Locally, we'll watch for snow Sunday through early Monday morning.
