HOT START TO WEEKEND, THEN SLIGHTLY COOLER

TONIGHT: Clearing skies and mild overnight... with Friday morning lows in the low to mid-60s.

TOMORROW: Beautiful start to the day with plenty of sunshine then period of clouds mixed with sunshine through the afternoon. Highs will soar into the mid-low 90's around El Paso county with 70's to mid-80's for local mtn cities. Pueblo to the eastern plains at or near 100°. Isolated storms will favor higher terrain areas between 3-6pm.

EXTENDED: Saturday is HOT with record-breaking heat possible; however, a cool down is coming our way for the second half of the weekend with a much higher chance for widespread afternoon thundershowers. Unsettled and milder through the middle of next week.
