Much warmer and drier across Colorado Tuesday

The air will be drier and hotter Tuesday, with highs returning to the low- to mid-90s for Denver and the Eastern Plains. If you're looking to cool off, the mountains are a great place to be. Highs will stay comfortable, in the upper-70s to mid-80s, with only a few isolated storms and showers popping up over higher terrain by late afternoon.

Wednesday through Friday, we will see a return to scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain about right for mid-to-late August with readings in the upper-80s to low-90s for lower elevations and 70s to low-80s in the mountains.

Saturday will be a bit hotter and drier, followed by a slightly better chance for a few storms on Sunday. Early next week may bring a bit of a taste of what is to come in September as a cold front will bring cooler temperatures on Monday with highs in the middle-80s and lows in the low- to mid-50s!
