⦁❶⦁ Remnant tropical moisture from once-Hurricane Kay is fully-entrenched across the state today
⦁❷⦁ Widely scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms expected with highs around 80 degrees

After setting multiple record high temperatures during the heatwave last week followed by a pleasantly cooler weekend, this week our temperatures will stay mostly above normal with some chances for rain mixed in as the remnants of Hurricane Kay pass across the Rockies. The week will end warm and mostly dry with that same trend continuing through the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead for the Front Range.
The extreme heatwave unfolding across the West continues in full-force for one more day in Colorado. Unfortunately, the hottest temperatures thus far still lie ahead on Thursday alongside elevated fire danger. The end is in sight though — two cold fronts bring a taste of autumn this weekend. We discuss how hot it will get Thursday, the timing of the big changes, and just how chilly it will be this weekend.
