Extended Outlook:
The big heat dome that settles into Southern Colorado on Wednesday shows no real sign of breaking down over the next 5 to 7 days. Then will lead to unseasonably hot weather, generally dry skies and periods of high fire danger. Remember to drink plenty of fluids and take breaks from the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
