Discussion
The next few days will feature very warm conditions and the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. The bigger story is the excessive heat that is likely to come to the area this weekend and continue into next week. Intense upper-level ridging will take shape over the western states by the upcoming weekend and early part of next week and this will likely result in a surge towards 100 degrees in the Denver metro region.
