The October heat is settling back into Colorado for the rest of the week, and it sticks around through the weekend and even into early next week!
We'll see mid-70s and mostly sunny skies through Thursday. These afternoon highs are about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for late-October.
Strong winds will be likely Thursday, ushering in high fire danger to much of the metro and plains. With warm temperatures, dry conditions and gusty winds, we'll watch the potential for fires to spread fast.
A weak cold front slides into the state late Thursday night into Friday morning. It's a dry front but will bring us down into the mid- to upper-60s on Friday, which will still be above normal for this time of year.
We're expecting sunshine statewide through the weekend! Highs will soar into the upper 70s Saturday and lower 80s Sunday. Denver will be close to the record high of 83-degrees, last set in 2016.
So far, it looks like the weather pattern will switch up a bit next week. A storm will move into the High Country Tuesday and Wednesday delivering rain and snow, but stay tuned on how it plays out in Denver. We'll have more details once it gets a bit closer.
