After a cooler day in the 40s on Thursday, sunshine combined with a stronger and closer ridge of high pressure to Colorado will bring us a healthy 5-10 degree bump in temperatures this afternoon. We should see a return to the mid 50s in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, with upper 50s into eastern Fremont County.
Temperatures tonight will be on the chilly side for date night plans, with lows Saturday morning in the 10s, 20s and 30s.

Extended outlook forecast:
Further warming this weekend will produce highs in the upper 50s for Colorado Springs on Saturday, with lower 60s on Sunday.
High pressure will break down Sunday evening, allowing for an incoming storm to bring a big change to our forecast by early next week. Skies should stay dry for the Monday morning commute, but then turn to snow showers towards the afternoon and evening. It will be gusty and cold as well, with our high only warming into the middle 30s to start the week. A few flurries may linger into Tuesday morning before the storm quickly clears out, leaving us with near freezing temperatures and moderate breezes Tuesday afternoon.
