A ridge of high pressure ramps back up again mid-week, bringing some serious heat to the Front Range! Highs will skyrocket back into the upper 80s, possibly flirting with 90-degrees in the Denver metro area. The current record high is 90-degrees, last set in 1915.
Besides the heat, we could see a few gusty afternoon showers and storms Wednesday in the mountains, along the I-25 corridor and E. Plains. So far, it doesn't look like we'll see any severe cells across the state.
The warming trend continues throughout the week with highs continuing to soar into the 80s under mostly sunny skies. We'll be close to another record high tie on Thursday with highs in the mid-80s in Denver. The current record high is 87-degrees, last set in 2013.
It'll be a warm start to the weekend with low 80s Saturday and Sunday. Look for a few isolated storms Sunday afternoon with a better chance of showers early next week.
It looks like another round of rain and more seasonal temperatures will return to the region next Monday and Tuesday.
