The first day of fall will see summer-like temperatures across Colorado’s eastern plains, along with strong winds and a few thunderstorms along the Colorado-Kansas border. Look for a change, however, as the weekend starts.

“American Assassin” stars Dylan O’Brien as CIA asset Mitch Rapp. The paperback-based Rapp is an action hero akin to Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, and I’ll even throw James Bond in there. O’Brien is best known for the “Maze Runner” series, a teenagers-in-a-dystopian-future franchise akin to “The Hunger Games,” “Divergent,” and “The Host.” All he needs now is an unimaginative superhero film and he’ll be the king of late-to-the-party knockoffs.

Hot, dry conditions that brought high fire danger to eastern Colorado Tuesday have been partly replaced with cooler temperatures Wednesday, however the fire risk returns for much of the area to close out the week.
Temperatures Wednesday will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler, reaching only to the upper 70s across most of the western half of the state. Lamar, La Junta and Walsenburg will be slightly warmer as those areas reach the low 80s. Temperatures are expected to rebound Thursday and Friday as the impacts of the cold front recede.

Hunting mule deer in Colorado is always challenging. Hunters can improve their success by understanding the habits of these critters.
During the 2016 seasons, for all manners of take, 81,000 hunters harvested 37,000 mule deer for a 45 percent success rate. It is estimated that Colorado is home to about 435,000 deer.
