Colorado may be easing into the week on a calm, cool note, but the atmosphere has no intention of staying quiet — and the shift ahead isn’t the one you might expect.

With gusty downslope winds on the way and the strong likelihood of multiple all‑time records falling, this week is all about the heat. How hot will it get and when will the heatwave end? Let’s take a look.

And beyond that? An unbelievably intense mid‑March heat wave that will rewrite the record books and kick off snowmelt across much of the West next week. Let’s get into the details.
