The First Alert5 weather team is watching a couple of waves of energy in the atmosphere early next week that will impact Colorado. We could see showers on Monday as this storm system moves in. Right now, most of the moisture looks to favor the SE plains with rainfall, but rain or a wintry mix is still a possibility for the I-25 corridor. A stronger push of cold air comes in Tuesday which drops highs to the 30s and gives us another chance of showers, this time snow is the likely precipitation type. Stay tuned as we get a clearer picture of this system.
