High pressure dominating the Western U.S. is blocking monsoon moisture, keeping Colorado dry for at least the next five days. With no rain in sight, wildfire smoke is expected to linger across the state, potentially impacting air quality—especially for those sensitive to pollution.
Rising Temperatures Across the Region
-
Colorado Springs: Highs were in the mid-80s on Monday but are forecast to climb into the mid-90s later this week.
-
Pueblo & Arkansas River Valley: Temperatures reached the low 90s and are expected to push into the low 100s soon.
Minimal Rain and Relief
While there’s a slight chance of isolated afternoon showers on Thursday, especially around the Palmer Divide, forecasters say little to no meaningful moisture is expected.
With hot, dry days ahead, officials urge residents to take precautions to stay cool and reduce fire risks.
