Kiowa County residents can expect a sunny, dry and increasingly hot weekend, with a high near 93 in Eads Saturday climbing to 96 Sunday under clear skies both days.

Saturday brings sunny skies and a high near 93, with an east wind of 10 to 15 miles per hour. Saturday night will be mostly clear, with a low around 62 and an east-southeast wind of 5 to 15 mph.

“Monsoon plume shifts westward bringing a downward trend in thunderstorm coverage over the mountains for Saturday and Sunday with temperatures heating up,” a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo wrote in Saturday’s Area Forecast Discussion.

Heat and drought build across the southeast plains

The weekend's dry pattern comes as the National Weather Service in Pueblo notes that drought continues to deepen across south central and southeast Colorado. With an upper-level high pressure system steering the summer monsoon moisture west of the region, little relief is expected in the near term.

Forecasters said temperatures will continue climbing after the weekend, and heat advisories may be needed for portions of the southeast plains early next week as readings crest above 100 degrees.
