It’s heating up in Colorado. Parts of the state could see three days of 100-degree weather this week, according to the National Weather Service.
Extreme heat is forecast to hit southeastern Colorado on Thursday, with temperatures climbing to 100 degrees in and around La Junta, according to the weather service’s Pueblo office.
The 100-degree heat will expand to other areas — including Lamar, Eads and Pueblo in southern Colorado and Sterling, Greeley and Fort Morgan in the north — on Friday and again on Saturday, according to the weather service.
As of Monday morning, Denver temperatures were expected to hit 100 degrees on Friday and hover around 99 degrees on Saturday, weather service forecasters said.
If Denver hits 100 degrees on Friday, it will break the city’s record for the hottest June 20. The current heat record is 99 degrees, set in 2017, according to weather service data.
