Thursday Morning Forecast: Warm and dry for the first day of Summer

Today’s Forecast:
Most of southern Colorado will see a warm and dry day but we do have rain chances across the southeast mountains. The only good chance for rain today is going to be storms that form near Costilla county and move east and southeast through the southern border. A few more storms may kick off near the Raton Mesa but again they will move southeast out of the state with small hail and lightning the main threats. The rest of us should enjoy a dry and warm day to kick off summer vacation!

WEEKEND OUTLOOK OR NEXT WEATHER MAKER: 
Tomorrow will be an active day for weather with storms starting in the I-25 corridor, especially around Monument, and then traveling east into the plains where they will likely become severe. On top of that, we will have high fire danger to our south in Las Animas county and the southern I-25 corridor. Saturday a few spotty storms in the mountains are possible but most of us stay dry until Sunday when a bigger wave of energy brings rain to the area.
