A cold front will march south across the state today, with breezy north winds this morning up to around 30 mph along and east of the I-25 corridor. Behind the front, the flow will slowly turn more easterly into the afternoon, helping to keep quite a bit of cloud cover in our forecast today compared to yesterday.
While precipitation chances overall will be low today, we could see a few sprinkles or some drizzle this morning from the Pikes Peak Region into the southeastern Plains. This afternoon, a slight chance of thunderstorms will follow for the eastern Plains and mountains. Some showers that develop over the mountains could reach the I-25 corridor or Pikes Peak Region this evening.
