Our mountains and mountain valleys will see highs this afternoon in the 30s, 40s and 50s, with light winds expected region-wide.
Colorado Springs forecast: High: 60; Low: 35. After a really active and busy stretch of weather since late last week, today's quiet forecast will be a nice change, with our high of 60 degrees right around today's average high.
Pueblo forecast: High: 63; Low: 34. A mild mix of sun and clouds can be expected for the Steel City this afternoon as our daytime high warms by a couple of degrees from yesterday.

Extended outlook forecast:
A weak clipper system to our north will send a cold front through the Plains early Wednesday morning. Behind the front, it will be breezy tomorrow, with 20-30 mph gusts in our forecast. A chance of snow showers will return to the mountains late tonight and Wednesday, with only a very small chance of a shower reaching the lower elevations of the Pikes Peak Region.
Dry air returns late this week, with highs going from the 60s on Thursday to the 70s and 80s on the Plains by Friday. The 70s and 80s will stick around into the upcoming weekend. Along with the warmth will come a breezy to gusty forecast, with high fire danger threats ramping up as we head towards the weekend.
