Residents across Colorado can expect warm and dry weather to continue through the weekend, thanks to a strong high-pressure system over the southern Plains States. This system is bringing warm, dry air into the region, with only isolated afternoon and evening thundershowers expected near the Southern Foothills.

Weather Conditions

While these thundershowers may drift eastward towards Colorado Springs and Pueblo during the late evening, the primary concern will be brief gusty winds. Residents are advised to seek shelter indoors if they see lightning or hear thunder until the storm threat passes.

The Southwest U.S. has been experiencing very dry conditions, and unfortunately, there are no promising weather systems on the horizon to alleviate the fire danger and drought. In the mountains, temperatures will reach the 70s during the day, dropping to the lower 40s at night. Meanwhile, the eastern plains will see daytime highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

Looking Ahead

The warm, breezy, and dry weather is expected to persist into the coming week, with daytime high temperatures remaining in the upper 80s. By Thursday and Friday, sunny and dry conditions will prevail, with highs in the lower 80s.
