Tonight's Forecast:
The potential for scattered thunderstorms will continue over Southern this evening. The biggest threat will be east of I-25, with very strong wind gusts and large hail possible across the Plains. The far eastern Plains will be the hot zone tonight, especially near the Kansas state line. After sunset, our skies should dry out as overnight lows cool down to the 50s and 60s.
COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 63; High: 88. A cold front will bring us a nice dose of cooling, with highs closer to seasonal norms on Tuesday. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms will develop across the Pikes Peak Region anytime after 2 pm.
PUEBLO: Low: 65; High: 96. After a high of 104 degrees on Monday, highs on Tuesday will be more in line with mid-July standards. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms will be possible after 2 pm.
CANON CITY: Low: 65; High: 93. Still pretty toasty on Tuesday, but at least cooler thanks to a cold front that moves through Southern Colorado. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon and early evening hours.

Extended Outlook:
Wednesday will be pleasant with further cooling on tap for all of Southern Colorado. Highs will top out in the 70s, 80s and lower 90s. Storm chances will continue each and every afternoon over the next seven days, and Wednesday's set-up could end up bringing us a better potential for severe thunderstorms. We'll be watching it closely from the First Alert 5 Weather Center.
