Dangerously Hot Temperatures through the Weekend

Hot Temperatures into Early Next Week

Hot and Dry Weekend, Cooler Wetter Mid Next Week

Dangerously hot temperatures can be expected across portions of south central and southeast Colorado through the weekend, as upper level high pressure builds back across the Central Rockies. #cowx

Near record high temperatures are forecast from Saturday through Tuesday for much of the area before relief arrives mid to late next week. The Plains will see highs in the mid 90s to around 107F, with 90s across the mountain valleys and 70s and 80s in the mountains. Be prepared for the heat! #cowx

Upper level high pressure building across the central Rockies will keep hot, dry and occasional smoky west to northwest flow aloft region through the weekend. The upper high will gradually push south and east of the area, brining in more available "monsoon" moisture to south central and southeast Colorado within more southwest flow aloft across the Central Rockies. #cowx
