Over the northeast corner, the hottest temperatures are expected with readings just over 100 degrees. A Heat Advisory will be in effect there until 8 PM MDT.  Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into this evening, more numerous over northern border areas with Wyoming and Nebraska and over the mountains, especially along and south of the Interstate 70 corridor. The storms will produce limited rainfall but wind gusts up around 55 mph with the stronger storms. There is a low threat of alpine burn scar flooding.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday  A cold front arrives Monday which will slightly decrease temperatures across the region. Slow moving thunderstorms are possible Monday and Tuesday afternoon which could bring a limited threat of flash flooding to the burn areas. These storms will begin in the mountains and valleys pushing eastward near the Palmer Divide, I-25 corridor, and plains.
