Severe weather has failed to materialize for the most part across the southeast Plains, with just a handful of severe weather reports so far today. Our weather tonight is expected to remain unsettled, with periods of rain and isolated thunderstorms. Overnight lows will be cool and comfortable tonight, dropping down to the 40s and 50s.
COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 53; High: 68. A trough of low pressure will bring an unseasonably cool and unsettled weekend to the Pikes Peak Region, with periods of rain and isolated thunderstorms on Saturday.

MOUNTAINS: Low: 30s/40s; High: 50s. Morning showers are expected to give way to periods of rain, possibly mixed with snow by the afternoon. Snow levels will be high, but some accumulation is possible this weekend around Pikes Peak.
Extended Outlook:
Rainy skies will continue through early next week until the trough of low pressure responsible for the wet weather moves out of the state. Once it does around next Tuesday or Wednesday, we'll see a warming trend and the return of a more typical pattern of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Until then, be prepared for a cool and wet weekend that could put a dampen on your weekend plans.
