Tonight's Forecast:
Low pressure over New Mexico has generated quite a bit of shower and storm activity today across the far southern part of the state. As low pressure begins to drift farther west, rain showers will diminish in most areas later this evening. This will leave us with decreasing clouds and chilly temperatures as we head into Thursday morning...with 30s in the mountains, and 40s for the Plains.
Colorado Springs forecast: Low: 43; High: 68; A modest boost in temperatures on Thursday will come courtesy of drier air and more sunshine. This should allow temperatures to return to the upper 60s.

Extended outlook forecast:
Thursday's nice weather will be short lived as our next cold front reaches Southern Colorado by Friday. Behind the front, we'll see good upslope flow and cooler highs, along with some scattered late afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. With clearing skies by Saturday morning, a few areas up into Teller County could see their first freeze of the season, with 30s also likely into parts of El Paso County.
The rest of the weekend looks nice, with seasonal highs and dry weather likely for the I-25 corridor and Plains.
