😷

6th-straight day with an Air Quality Alert for Denver, 26th so far this year...likely a few more to go before we get some moisture (and better air quality) early next week.

The Monsoon is coming ⛈️⛈️⛈️

No full blown video today, just pretty much the same as yesterday!
Hot and dry across the entire state today with some gusty conditions possible around the Urban corridor and Denver area later today but also a chance for some showers and thunderstorms across the southern high country today!
Stay cool and hydrated out there!

Keeping an eye on this new fire that just sparked next to I25 just south of Monument and just a couple minutes north of the Air Force Academy specifically between Gate Blv and Baptist Road on the west side of I25

The fire is 5 acres in size, with 1-3ft flames and isolated tree torching.

Stay tuned for updates!

Heads up Denver metro area and northern I25 corridor!
A Heat advisory will be in effect for prolonged heat with highs spring onto the upper 90s challenging 100° is some places. Overnight lows will definitely struggle to cool down.
Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and staying cool out there! This heat will stick around for the next week!
