Tonight's Forecast:
Even as Red Flag Warnings expire tonight at 8 pm, there still could be spotty critical fire weather conditions across the eastern Plains through midnight thanks to gusty winds and low relative humidity. Temperatures will be slow to cool across the region tonight, with 40s and 50s by Tuesday morning.
COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 46; High: 65. Mostly cloudy and cooler on Tuesday.

MOUNTAINS: Low: 10s/20s; High: 30s/40s. Snow and possible thundersnow will develop over the mountains during the day on Tuesday. While most of the moisture will cross our state to the north, it's possible that the higher elevations could see a few inches of fresh snow through midday Wednesday.
Extended Outlook:
A mix of rain and snow will be possible through Wednesday morning. As temperatures warm during the day, the snow will change back over to rain below 7,000 feet. At the same time, the storm will be pulling away, taking most of the moisture along with it. We'll be left with a dry and mild day on Thursday before warming up as we head towards a taste of summer by the weekend.
