Colorado Weather: Near record heat before cool, wet weekend

DENVER(CBS)-  Get ready for a big up and down swing in the weather pattern now thru the weekend. First off we have a surge in heat coming our way for the last two days of the week. Our big summer high will be shifting eastward opening the door for hot desert air to push in from the west starting on Thursday.

High temperatures will surge into the 90s over eastern parts of the state with a few 100s in the mix on Friday.

There will be a few scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms both Thursday and Friday despite the surge in heat.
