Extended Outlook:
Tomorrow will be another day for high fire danger with highs back in the 80s and 90s. We have a chance for spotty thunderstorms in the mountains and eastern El Paso County, but dry air will make it so gusty winds and maybe lightning are about all that falls out of thunderstorms. Wednesday looks a bit cooler but with very strong winds. We're dry and a bit cooler through the end of the week.
