Early Thursday, a cold front arrives in Colorado, cooling high temperatures and suppressing storm formation. Scattered storms are forecast to return Friday with slightly warmer temperatures.

From the weekend and into next week, Colorado will settle into a southwest flow which will bring mostly dry conditions with high temperatures warming well above normal.
