- | A strong high-pressure ridge continues to dominate the intermountain west, creating hot, dry, and subsident conditions with mostly clear skies. |
- | The warming trend continues today with high temperatures climbing into the low to mid 90's, dew points in the upper 30's, across the District. Portions of the foothills will be a bit cooler, with highs reaching the low to mid 80's. |
- | Tonight, skies remain clear with overnight lows dropping into the mid 60's over the plains, low 50's in the Front Range foothills. Dry conditions will persist overnight and through tomorrow morning. |
A LOOK AHEAD: This weekend will be hot and mostly sunny, with temperatures soaring into the mid to upper 90's. There is a slight chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday. The dome of high-pressure will remain anchored to the intermountain west through Monday, with high temperatures reaching the mid 90's under clear skies. A cool front on Tuesday will provide some relief from the heat. High temperatures are expected to be in the low 80's with another round of afternoon summer showers and thunderstorms.
