COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 59; High: 96. Other than some afternoon clouds, Thursday will be dry and very hot across the Pikes Peak Region. The current record stands at 97 degrees, which we just might catch if we can get enough sunshine.
PUEBLO: Low: 61; High: 101. Highs will soar back into the triple digits on Thursday, and Friday too! If we make it to the century club in Pueblo on Thursday, it will be the 18th time this year with a high at or above 100 degrees.

Extended Outlook:
The potential for more records will continue on Friday, with highs only down a few degrees by Saturday. Late this week it's possible that we could see some isolated mountain thunderstorms form during the afternoon and evening hours. Isolated storm chances will spread east into the plains this weekend as a cold front helps to bring upslope moisture into parts of Southern Colorado.
