Get ready for a classic early summer setup—plenty of warmth, a hint of storm potential, a bit of wildfire smoke, and maybe even the year’s first 90-degree day(s) for the Front Range. While the week starts off dry and sunny, a few scattered storms will make an appearance midweek, adding a little variety to the forecast. By the weekend, the heat cranks up as a strong ridge sends hot air northward into Colorado.
