Clouds will continue to increase this evening and this, combined with a warming air mass, will mean overnight temperatures will not be as cold as recent nights. Lows in the mountains and mountain valleys will cool into the 10s and 20s, with a mix of 20s, 30s and lower 40s in the plains.

Extended Outlook Forecast:
Our weekend will start under mild skies, with partly cloudy skies at the start of the day and mostly sunny skies in the afternoon. High pressure in Colorado Springs on Saturday will warm comfortably into the mid 60s. A powerful storm system that will spread snow into the mountains on Sunday will bring us increasing clouds and a few degrees of cooling by Sunday.

Snow chances will increase late Sunday night and into Monday, with possible impacts on the morning commute to work. Monday’s high will only warm into the 30s and 40s in southern Colorado. Tuesday looks set to be dry and mild with our high rebounding into the 40s and 50s. Then another disturbance we’re watching for mid to late next week looks to bring increased snow potential and colder temperatures from next Wednesday to next Friday.
