In Pueblo, temperatures could reach the upper 80s Friday and soar into the mid-90s Saturday—potentially breaking longstanding daily and even monthly records.
Colorado Springs is also expected to challenge records, with highs in the low to mid-80s, while Alamosa could see temperatures push into the upper 70s and low 80s.

The heat is also contributing to dangerous fire weather conditions across the region, especially when combined with gusty winds and very low humidity.
