Today’s Forecast:
We're in for a cold, cloudy, gloomy, and wet Memorial Day across southern Colorado.
Rain will start over the mountains between 12 to 2 pm, and move to the interstate between 3 to 4 pm. Rain could be heavy in and around the mountains & valleys with small hail and flooding as our main concerns. Storms along and east of I-25 will not be severe, but heavy rain and isolated areas of small hail are still possible.
Highs will hit the 50s or low 60s for most of the region, so dress warm and pack a rain jacket if you're headed out to cemeteries and memorial services in the afternoon.

Extended Outlook:
We should start Tuesday with brighter skies and dry conditions, but rain and thunderstorms will move back in through the afternoon. Storms could be strong tomorrow, and more flooding in the high country will be our primary concern along with small hail.
We should see drier skies through the end of the week, but isolated mountain storms on Wednesday and especially Thursday will be possible. A few isolated storms could wander in the Pikes Peak Region Thursday, but Pueblo and the plains look dry.
Friday looks sunny, hot, and dry but storms will move back in by the weekend, especially Sunday.
