Today’s Forecast:
Hot and dry weather takes over today, so drink lots of water! A few stray thunderstorms may develop along and south of highway 50 in the plains today, but dry air will likely prevent any rain from actually hitting the ground. Highs will soar into the 90s east of the mountains with plenty of warmth in the mountains themselves. Tonight, dry air will allow temperatures to fall into the mid to upper 50s by Friday morning.

COLORADO SPRINGS: High - 91; Low - 57. Hot and dry today with a stronger breeze through the afternoon.

PUEBLO: High - 98; Low - 59. Very hot and dry today with a stronger breeze through the afternoon.

CANON CITY: High - 96; Low - 62. Hot and dry today with a stronger breeze through the afternoon.

WOODLAND PARK: High - 81; Low - 50. Warm and sunny today with a few more clouds through the afternoon.

TRI-LAKES: High - 80s; Low - 50s. Warm and dry today with a stronger breeze through the afternoon.

PLAINS: High - 90s; Low - 60s. Very hot and breezy across the plains with spotty "dry" thunderstorms, meaning that dry air will prevent rain from hitting the ground and just push out wind and a stray lightning bolt or two.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: High - 90s; Low - 50s. Hot and dry today with a stronger breeze through the afternoon.

Extended Outlook:
Isolated thunderstorms are possible on Friday with hot and dry air taking over through the rest of the weekend. Temperatures will peak by Monday of next week with highs in the mid 90s in Colorado Springs and low 100s in Pueblo.
