Hotter & Drier Weekend Ahead

Tonight: Storms will continually dissipate overnight with clearing skies. Calm winds and lows in the 50s and 60s are expected.

Tomorrow: Saturday will start off with plenty of sunshine before clouds begin to move in during the early afternoon. Drier air is expected to move into the state which will limit storm coverage during the afternoon, but not completely eliminate it! There will be a few very isolated storms that could produce a quick burst of rain and gusty winds, however most areas end up staying dry. Highs will be in the 90s and 100s for the lower elevations with 80s across our local mountains. Any storms that pop up will diminish after sunset.

Extended: Air filtering into the state on Sunday will be even drier than Saturday, with even fewer storms anticipated. As a result, it will stay hot with 90s and 100s on Sunday with the heat lasting into Monday as well. Monsoonal moisture will begin streaming back into the state Tuesday setting the stage for a few days of afternoon storms. Wednesday and Thursday look to be the wettest days next week, with the potential for localized and flash flooding expected to return to Southern Colorado. As storm potential climbs, highs will also fall. Temperatures by midweek will be noticeably cooler with highs in the 70s and 80s.
