Get ready for another hot weekend across Colorado! We’re looking ahead to a few sizzling, sunny and smoky days across the Front Range. A ridge of high pressure is building into Colorado and that will lead to some pretty serious heat through the weekend.
A number of Air Quality Alerts remain in effect across a good portion of the state today. Temperatures will start off in the 60s, but then quickly climb to near 90 degrees by lunch and into the upper 90s by happy hour. The current record high is 99-degrees, last set in 2025, so Denver could easily tie or break that record.
Fire danger will stay high along the southern Front Range mountains. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 1p.m. to 8p.m. for hot, dry and windy conditions. If you’re spending time outdoors, be extra careful to avoid anything that could start a fire. With the hot, dry weather conditions, fire weather concerns will stay elevated through the weekend…
