WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 50s; High: 80s/90s. Hot and hazy on Wednesday as the heat isn't going anywhere for at least the next couple of days.

MOUNTAINS: Low: 40s/50s; High: 60s/70s. A little hazy on Wednesday due to wildfires burning in Arizona and New Mexico, but otherwise we're looking at a breezy, mild and pleasant afternoon for the higher elevations.

Extended Outlook:
The hottest day of the year so far is expected on Thursday. Some areas in the Arkansas River Valley could top the century mark, with 90s on tap for the lower elevations in the Pikes Peak Region. A cold front will bring some relief to the heat on Friday as highs cool some heading into the weekend. As for precipitation, our latest forecast is trending much drier over the next seven days.
