The thermometer reached 94 degrees Friday, setting the all-time high temperature for August 15 in Colorado Springs, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

The previous record high was 93 degrees, reached in 1937 and 2015.

The high temperature Thursday was 92. 

The month of August has seen seven 90-plus degree days recorded, according to the Weather Service.

How long will hazy conditions continue in Colorado Springs amid statewide wildfires?

Temperatures are forecast to be above average over the weekend and through the extended forecast. Highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s Saturday and Sunday.

“Monsoon moisture returns this weekend, leading to better storm chances in the mountains,” said Casey Dorn, meteorologist with Gazette news partner KOAA. “Isolated storms are possible across the Pikes Peak region through the weekend, with a slightly higher chance Saturday and Monday compared to today and Sunday.”

Early next week will continue chances for isolated daily afternoon storms, with a drier pattern returning mid-week.

Here’s the four-day forecast for Colorado Springs from the National Weather Service: 

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. North northwest wind around 5 mph becoming south southeast in the afternoon. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Sunday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Increasing clouds, with a high near 89. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming east southeast in the afternoon. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Monday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph in the afternoon.

Tuesday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Sunny, with a high near 89. North northwest wind around 5 mph becoming east in the afternoon.
