Sunday to see record heat, dangerous fire conditions

July 10, 2016 / Ben Castellani

Both Denver and Boulder are chasing record highs today. 99 is the number to beat in Denver, 100 in Boulder. We are forecasting 99 degrees in both cities today.

Fire danger will be high as well this afternoon, especially in the Foothills where Red Flag Warnings are active. A combination of hot temperatures, low humidity, and gusty southwest winds will breed volatile conditions for the rapid spread of fire. Luckily, there is no chance of lightning today, so any ignitions will require a human.

Therefore, please take extra precaution. We already had careless folks destroy several hundred acres of Boulder County forest yesterday…

We bring you up to speed on the 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season and our expectations moving forward.

This week, the ridge that has been a mainstay will slowly edge to the south and west of Colorado. This will lead to cooler temperatures and increasing chances of rain and storms, primarily from Wednesday through Friday. Read on for our complete week-ahead forecast.

Following a weekend of searing heat, this week’s temperatures will feel a little more comfortable at times. Despite the large-scale ridge remaining in place across the Southwestern USA, it will weaken a tad, and as a result, open the gates for a pair of backdoor cold fronts to enter northeast Colorado.
