Discussion
Upper level ridging continues today over eastern Colorado, but there will be enough low level moisture around to generate scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms and some of the storms can become strong enough to cause damaging wind gusts. The flow aloft becomes drier and southwesterly by tomorrow and the result will be less of a chance for thunderstorm activity and an elevated fire danger with highs approaching or even slightly surpassing 90 degrees during the second half of the week. Very warm conditions will continue this weekend as well with highs likely to be not far from 90 degrees each day along with a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms.
