After a pretty windy day across the mountains and valleys, we can expect the wind to slowly weaken this evening. The southeastern mountains will stay gusty at times into Tuesday morning, with peak gusts up near 30-40 mph. Otherwise, we're looking at a clearer and colder night across the region.

Extended outlook forecast:
An area of low pressure crossing the state will bring the mountains some super beneficial snowfall throughout the rest of the week. Some resorts can expect more than a foot of fresh pow pow through midday Thursday. For the Plains, a few flurries or light snow showers will be possible from Wednesday into Thursday morning, mainly up towards the Palmer Divide and Teller County. Accumulations if any, would likely stay under 1".
The rest of the week that follows will be dry and breezy, with near seasonal daytime highs.
