Woodland Park forecast: Low: 15; High: 29;
Woodland Park will have the best chances to see snow as this next system brings in a quick blast of cold air. The higher elevations have the best chances because more moisture will be available in the atmosphere. The best timing for snow chances will be the early morning hours (around 8AM) on Tuesday. Not much is expected in terms of accumulations.
Tri-Lakes forecast: Low: 21; High: 33;
The Tri-Lakes area will dip into the lower 20s tonight with some gusty winds. Multiple layers will be needed for tomorrow because we will continue to see these breezy conditions.

Plains forecast: Low: 20s; High: 40s;
The plains are still dealing with the snowpack and is helping to cool the temperatures a few degrees. Overnight lows across the plains will get into the 20s. Further south they will be closer to the upper 20s, while further north they will be in the lower 20s. As this next front makes its way out to the plains, we have the potential to see some rain.
Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 27; High: 40/43;
Overnight temperatures will dip into the 30s and by the morning we will hit a low of 27 degrees. Temperatures will stay in the 30s for most of the day on Tuesday along with breezy conditions. Highs will eventually top out in the lower 40s by the late afternoon.

The mountains will see snow showers starting tonight and into the early morning hours of Tuesday. These snow showers will be heavy at times and with breezy conditions, it could limit visibility. These snow showers will move out of the area by the afternoon.
Extended outlook forecast:
The next system will move through tonight and into tomorrow. Snow showers will impact the mountains, but will diminish as they make their way to I-25. There is just not enough moisture to sustain these snow showers once they make it off of the mountains. Behind this front, temperatures will drop. Wednesday morning will be cold with the wind chill temperatures even colder. It will feel closer to the teens in terms of temperature for Wednesday morning. Afterwards, we will see a nice warming trend which will be great for getting outside.
