Today’s Forecast:
Beautiful weather awaits southern Colorado today as a ridge of high pressure takes over and sweeps warmth throughout the region! Fire danger is relatively high today despite no fire advisories due to very dry and low relative humidity, especially through the afternoon. The winds will be strong through the afternoon with highs reaching the 70s for most of the interstate but 80s from Pueblo east to Lamar. Tonight we’ll see clouds fill up the sky with light winds and mild low temperatures.
