Today’s Forecast:
Sunny and dry once again across Southern Colorado, with a stray PM shower in the extreme S Sangres. Otherwise a few clouds in the mountains this afternoon but no rain. The Draconid meteor shower peaks tonight, and will be best viewed after sunset - not before sunrise. Look up and to the South. 10-20 meteors visible per hour tonight, make sure to give your eyes time to adjust first.

Mountains forecast: High: 60s; Low: 30s.
Sunny this morning with PM clouds developing, particularly South: Southern Sangres, high points on the wets, extreme southern Sawatch. A shower is possible along the CO/NM border of the Sangres. Otherwise, a dry afternoon with rain not in the forecast. Cool tonight with clear skies - good for sky gazing (and meteor gazing).
Extended outlook forecast:
A similarly dry and above normal temperatures type of day awaits us Monday with highs continuing to run 5-12 degrees above average. Once again plenty of sun, but with a few more clouds than today during the afternoon. More cloud cover arrives Tuesday with upslope flow arriving. Isolated mountain showers are possible but the Front Range Corridor should remain dry.
An area of low pressure approaches from the NW Wednesday into Thursday, swinging a cold front through Colorado in the process. This classic-fall type frontal system will bring us rain, high-elevation snowflakes, and usher in a cool and crisp air mass that makes the end of next week feel more like October should. We dry back out heading into next weekend.
