COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 44; High: 81. The work week will start out warm and gusty, with afternoon wind gusts around 25 mph. Although Red Flag Warnings are not expected in El Paso County, the warm, dry and windy weather may lead to elevated fire weather conditions at times on Monday.
PUEBLO: Low: 43; High: 87. Hot and dry on Monday, with elevated fire weather conditions possible at times in Pueblo County. The current record of 86° could be threatened if we hit our forecast high of 87°.
CANON CITY: Low: 47; High: 83. Unseasonably warm, dry and windy on Monday. A Red Flag Warning is set to go into effect in Fremont County at 11 am. Please avoid outdoor burning in these conditions.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 40s; High: 70s/80s. High fire danger will be the name of the game across the southern I-25 corridor on Monday. Red Flag Warnings will go into effect at 11 am and continue until 8 pm.
MOUNTAINS: Low: 20s/30s; High: 40s/50s. Windy and unseasonably warm across the mountains on Monday. Moisture will increase Tuesday afternoon, with a mix of rain and snow possible in the high country through early Wednesday morning.
Extended Outlook:
Tuesday's highs will begin to cool out ahead of our next weather maker. Ahead of the storm, the winds and high fire danger will remain the big story on Tuesday for areas along and south of Highway 50. A cold front will bring some moisture into the forecast by Tuesday evening. With snow levels expected to hover around 7,000 feet, the Plains will be looking at the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms and not wintry weather from our mid-week storm.
