POSSIBLE RECORD HEAT THROUGH TUESDAY

Brief: Record Heat Possible Mon and Tues before it turns cooler in the 60's and 70's by Wed, Thurs

TONIGHT: Clear and calm with mild overnight lows in the 40's and low 50's before sunrise Tuesday morning

TOMORROW: Mostly sunny skies with highs soaring into the 70's and low 80's around the Pikes Peak region with near 90° expected around Pueblo and across the far eastern plains

EXTENDED: Our hot temps begin to relax by Wednesday as high pressure breaks down and sags south allowing for slightly more seasonal temps to make a comeback with highs in the 60's and 70's Wed and Thursday. As of now, our next chance of rain looks more probable by Sunday afternoon

BELOW AVERAGE and DWINDLING FAST: A slow melt is always best but with the rapid warmer than average temps in April combined with below average snowpack finishing out Winter 25, the statewide average is now sitting at a sad 53%

Statewide, the snowpack is expected more than 50% gone by end of May, which is over 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Colorado Snowpack is important for many reasons but most importantly bc of where it goes when it melts as Colorado's river basins receive around 70% of their water from snowpack. Colorado's snowpack also feeds rivers that eventually deliver water to around 19 states as it flows south into states like NV, NM. Additionally, Colorado Snowpack is very important for the health and balance of our ecosystem.

Monsoon Season kicks up in June and we are hoping for an average to above average season.
