Today’s Forecast:
We're set to reach the hottest temperatures of the year so far in southern Colorado! Dry air under a ridge of high pressure combined with sunshine will push highs in the lower elevations into the 90s and triple digits. Be sure to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water during the afternoon if you're outside. Take plenty of breaks in the shade if you're working outdoors in the afternoon.

Extended Outlook:
Very hot and windy on Saturday again but with storms likely across the mountains and into the I-25 corridor. Storms over the mountains could be strong to severe, so anyone hiking or camping needs to prepare for active weather in the afternoon. Sunday looks hot and dry but with very critical fire danger. We'll be dry and cooler next week.
