Tonight’s Forecast:
Scattered mountain showers and thunderstorms will continue through the early evening. As we are a little dry, these storms are producing more lightning and wind than they are rain. But, where there is rain, it is a heavy, but brief, downpour. A few may move onto the I-25 corridor, but should come to an end once the sun sets. A few clouds will remain behind from those storms and we’ll drop into the upper 50s for the Pikes Peak region and lower 60s for Pueblo and the Plains.
Sunday will be another hot one with temperatures soaring into the upper 80s for the Pikes Peak Region, lower 90s for Pueblo, and near 100’s for the Eastern Plains. However, a bit more moisture will be entering the state, increasing the chances for showers and thunderstorms. Again, storms will develop over the mountains, but some will move onto the I-25 Corridor by late afternoon.

Extended Outlook:
We’ll begin the next work week with a better chance for scattered storms on Monday and cooler temps with highs in the lower to mid-80s. As the jet stream begins to break down, our temperatures will drop a little and the chances for afternoon storms will increase a bit. This pattern will last through Wednesday, with the 4th of July holiday looking hot and dry at this time. However, by Friday night, a larger storm system, will pass to the north of Colorado, sending down a cold front with cooler temps and scattered rain chances for next Saturday.
