Extended outlook forecast:
July 4th gave us our first round of T-Storms, but mother nature is winding up to through us another punch on Wednesday. Mostly cloudy to start the day, but with early mountain sunshine, thunderstorms will start developing by lunchtime in the high country. As cloud cover slowly burns off along I-25 and East, the sun will heat an already unstable atmosphere and provide the fuel for those mountain thunderstorms to roll off into a favorable environment for rapid development. Storms Predication Center has us in a Slight Risk for severe weather on Wednesday, with some storms potentially even stronger than what we saw on Tuesday.
The strength of the T-storms begins to lessen on Thursday and by Friday we return to more seasonable highs and a NW flow that bring us isolated chances for storms in the lower elevations and greater chances in the mountains. By the end of the weekend, we should be looking at hot and dry conditions.
