Sunday will be a tad cooler. Tad being the key word, as high temperatures will be in the low 90s.

Come Monday, we will finally see a break in the heat as a cold front slides into Colorado. Don't expect wet weather, unfortunately; however, temperatures will drop into the 70s, which will feel amazing! The chance of rain returns Tuesday and Wednesday, which will be great news for our fire danger.
