Fire danger remains high across all of western Colorado and the southern Front Range. It will remain elevated to critical this week. Warnings go back into effect at 10 a.m. Tuesday and continue until 10 p.m. for those areas.
Energy coming out of the northern Rockies may lead to a few showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon on the northeastern plains. Some storms could turn severe along the extreme eastern edge of the state. We'll see a very small chance of a gusty storm in the Denver metro Tuesday afternoon, but very little rain is expected.
Highs will rebound into the lower 90s Tuesday before reaching the middle to upper 90s as we approach the upcoming Fourth of July weekend, as our unseasonably dry weather pattern looks to continue.
