A heat dome is developing over the West, which is expected to bring hot and dry conditions to Colorado's mountains. This weather pattern is forming as a ridge of high pressure builds up.

Forecasters, including National Weather Service forecaster Kate Abbott, are monitoring the situation. The high pressure ridge is likely to push away any remaining moisture from the Western Slope.
