Hot and sunny start to the weekend

Tonight's Forecast: A high-pressure system continues to build over the state which is why we are seeing these above average temperatures. Going into tonight we will cool into the lower 50s for most of Southern Colorado. We will likely be even warmer tomorrow for the highs. There won't be as much cloud cover in the area which will help to add a few degrees onto the highs.
