Cooler temperatures are on the way for Woodland Park and the higher terrain. Tonight lows will reach the lower 40s, and tomorrow we will be back in the mid-70s. We will see a pattern change this weekend that could bring a wintry mix to the higher elevations. Most of this will likely be rain though.

Lows tonight will dip into the lower 50s for both Walsenburg and Trinidad. Highs tomorrow will be in the mid-80s, and we should stay dry. Widespread rain is expected for this weekend, so take advantage of any outdoor activities today and tomorrow!

Mountains forecast: Low: Upper 30s/Lower 40s; High: Mid-to-upper 70s;
Lows tonight will be chilly for the mountains with temperatures in the upper 30s and some in the lower 40s. Breezy conditions will be possible for tomorrow, along with dry conditions. Once we get into the weekend the higher peaks (12,000 feet and above) could see some snow accumulation on Saturday night. Higher elevations could still get a wintry mix.

Extended outlook forecast:
A strong low-pressure system will move through on Saturday. This system will bring widespread rain that will span across the entire state. Some higher elevations could see a wintry mix. Nothing is expected to stick in these elevations because the ground will likely be too warm. The higher peaks (12,000 feet or higher) could accumulate a few inches of snow.
Going into Sunday, this system will leave behind some cooler temperatures. Monday, we will warm back up to those seasonal temperatures. We could potentially see more rain on Tuesday along with cooler temperatures.
