Dry weather will be accompanying the heat. Use extra caution while dealing with fire. In an extended outlook published by the same source, high temperatures are expected to continue throughout the rest of the week.
The good news is that there are plenty of sun symbols on the graphic! The bad news is that near record heat is likely this week while those hoping for substantial precipitation will have to wait until next week. #cowx pic.twitter.com/o67rezOOzo — NWS Boulder (@NWSBoulder) September 10, 2018
