Storms will move out of the state around 10 p.m., making way for clearing skies overnight. Lows will be comfortable in the mid 50s along the I-25 corridor.
It'll be a sunny start to your Tuesday and temperatures will warm up fast! Daytime highs will climb back into the low to mid-90s around the Denver metro area, with parts of the northeast plains approaching 100 degrees. Dry air and strong winds will combine to create widespread critical fire weather conditions, making outdoor burning and activities that could spark a fire especially dangerous.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect Tuesday from noon until 9 p.m. for much of the Front Range, Denver metro and Eastern Plains. It's also in effect for much of the Western Slope.
Wednesday remains hot, though temperatures may ease slightly from Tuesday's scorcher. Fire weather concerns are expected to continue, particularly across the plains, as dry and breezy conditions persist. A cold front arriving Wednesday night will usher in temperatures closer to normal.
Thursday offers another brief round of heat relief with more seasonal temperatures. Dry weather is expected to continue through the end of the week, and a more noticeable cool down is likely next weekend as temperatures trend below normal for early June. We're talking low 70s with a few storms Sunday!
