Tracking possible record-breaking heat today

TODAY: We could break some heat records Wednesday with high 90s likely in Colorado Springs and triple digits along the Arkansas River Valley! We stay mostly dry with only a few showers south of HWY 50. Winds pick up just a touch with some 20-40 MPH gusts possible across the region (highest across San Luis Valley) increasing fire danger. Be careful!

TOMORROW: Temps briefly drop to the 70s and 80s Thursday on the back end of a mostly dry cold front. Similar to Wednesday, our only chance for a shower or two is south of HWY 50.

EXTENDED: We warm back up to the 90s in many lower lying areas Friday and Saturday. Fire danger will likely continue through the weekend with only a few PM showers and storms Saturday and Sunday (Father's Day). Widespread showers and storms are more likely Monday.
