Extended outlook forecast:
Relatively quiet conditions will persist for the first half of the week. Another modest cold front pushes south Monday night. Highs Tuesday will be in the upper 40s, Wednesday the upper 50s, and Thursday back to the upper 40s to low 50s. A couple of showers are likely overnight Wednesday morning with weak upper-level energy moving over the area, with another chance overnight Thursday morning. No day will be totally sunny, with partly cloudy skies each day. But, the next big weather maker will on Friday. While it's too soon to give exact timing and impacts, a decently strong upper-level low will track south of southern Colorado, which leads to a chance for some accumulating snow.
