Tonight's Forecast:
A Heat Advisory will remain in effect until 8 pm on Wednesday, with temperatures slow to cool down this evening across Southern Colorado. Even past the dinner hour, temperatures on the Plains may still be in the 90s, with 70s not likely in Colorado Springs until around 10 pm.
With high pressure still in control of our weather this evening, overnight lows will be kept quite warm, with widespread 60s on tap for the Plains and 50s in the mountain valleys. I wouldn't be surprised if a few locations in the lower Arkansas River Valley won't drop below 70 degrees tonight.

Red Flag Warnings are in place for the western half Colorado. Gusty winds and dry conditions have led to an increased fire risk. If you plan on camping do not start any fires in the area. Overnight lows will drop into the 50s and 60s. Highs on Thursday will remain warm. Rain chances will increase by the early afternoon.
