Today’s Forecast:
Hot again today, over 5 degrees above average. The I-25 corridor into the Plains will see many 90s, with 70s and 80s in the mountains. A sunny start will be met with a mostly sunny afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are possible today, with most of the activity in high terrain. A few evening thunderstorms are possible along I-25, but will dissipate before heading too far east into the Plains.
COLORADO SPRINGS: High - 91; Low - 60. Expect to be sunny and hot for the bulk of the day. An air quality alert is in place until 4 pm for increased ozone levels.

Gusty winds and lightning is possible in rain activity this evening.
PUEBLO: High - 97; Low - 64. Hot again today, but staying out of the triple digits for now. The afternoon will be sunny and dry, so stay hydrated. A pool day is a great idea, but watch for a thunderstorm in the early evening. Storms will have minimal impacts today.

PLAINS: High - 90/100s; Low - 60s. Hot and sunny today! Wear that sun protection because there won't be much relief from the heat. Any mountain showers that make their way off the front range will dissipate before making it too far into the Plains. Rain chances look better Sunday.

Monday will be the coolest day of next week, eventhough temperatures will still be above average. There is a chance of thunderstorms Monday evening. The rest of next week is trending very hot and dry!
