Extended outlook forecast:
Several areas of energy move through Colorado through Sunday. A few flurries may impact the morning commute Friday, but no accumulations and the flakes will generally be few and far between. Friday is also our cool point of the week, with highs in the upper 30s, as arctic air is sucked in by the large area of low pressure. Temperatures modestly rebound this weekend into the low 40s. As the whole system departs Sunday, winds will become breezy to gusty, 25-35 mph in the Pikes Peak Region. High pressure begins to build in again by Monday afternoon as highs warm. Mild weather sticks around through the middle of next week.
