Today’s Forecast:
Westerly downslope winds will crank the heat across Colorado today with heat records likely to be tied or broken in Colorado Springs and Pueblo!
We'll stay dry across the region and gusty in and out of the mountains through the afternoon. While fire danger is minimal today, we still want to stay fire-conscious due to how dry the last month has been. Bring lots of water today and apply sunscreen if you'll be exercising or working outdoors.

Thursday we'll see a chance for isolated and scattered thunderstorms, mostly in the mountains but some out to I-25 in the Pikes Peak Region and along the Raton Mesa.
We'll stay hot into the start of the weekend with a few chances for isolated storms in our southern mountains Friday and Saturday. We should cool down to average temperatures by Sunday and Monday.
