A very large area of high pressure is building in for the weekend. Record heat is likely in several states including Colorado. Inside that dome, the air is sinking which causes warming and drying due to air compression. Extreme heat builds and builds as the air becomes trapped in the dome. Record heat is very possible in Denver. 99 or 100 degrees on Saturday would top the record of 98 last set in 2021. And several computer models are showing the temperature tying the record of 102 degrees on Sunday.
