the eastern plains, 93 in burlington in the high country, 60s and 70s in the western slope currently 87 degrees. we really do have that dry air that's pushing into colorado and that's kind of shifted those monsoon winds. so that's allowing for us to still see a little bit of rain and some thunderstorms in southeastern colorado and we're still seeing that highest potential for those stronger storms near nebraska, also into kansas and all the minnesota, but with that drier air moving through we have that high fire danger. so you'll notice most of that stay kind of shaded under this yellow cover indicating high fire danger. looking a current look -- looking at current winds, it's nice in the backyard, but higher gusts closer to the divide and to the southwest we have gusts now on monarch pass close to 50 miles per hour.

strong wind, low humidity, relative humidity across the state is so lo meinly in the high country. right now we have humidity down south in pueblo to 9%. so you can imagine all those thing come together to increase the fire danger and currently we do have that red flag warning in effect for the western slope, upper parts of jackson, summit county, grand county until 8 p.m. and to the south of us douglas county, elbert county we have that red flag warning in effect until 7 p.m. up to 37 miles per hour. it's nice to be outside, but we do have those thunderstorms to the south and southeast right now just carrying a little bit of lightning, nothing too bad. we don't have any severe warnings or watches for the time being. we'll hang onto these clear skies. temperatures will be warm into the evening hours. kathy sabine will be out here

70s, 8:00, 10:00. overnight our temperatures are expected to drop to the low 50s. we do have a cold front pushing through through tomorrow morning and that's really going to drop our temperatures. you'll notice that because the high will be at 80 degrees, from 92 to low 80s, a big cooloff. sunny in the morning in the city, but we could see a few areas of fog in northeastern colorado and the chance for an isolated storm late in storms now in southwestern colorado, overnight clear skies and arrives in the morning a cold front increasing humidity in north eastern colorado. so low like areas in weld county and along i-76, you could be dealing with fog on your drive tomorrow. around lunchtime we have a few clouds in northeast high. here in the city it looks dry.

isolated storm. we'll be lucky to see any showers develop. around 6:30 most of that stormy weather is out on the eastern plains. then tuesday evening into wednesday morning once again we have threat of severe fog developing. the threat for severe weather tomorrow is out on the eastern plains towards the northeast extending to minnesota and the grand lakes. on the eastern plains with the storms that do develop we so could he the strong wind damaging hail. so far so good with the forecast on thursday, 88 on friday, 77 and then saturday the high of 82 degrees. we're back to football. our broncos are taking on the panthers thursday. kickoff will be at 6:00, temperatures a the 80 degrees, breezy, warm, dry and a
