Extended outlook forecast:
The first in a series of disturbances will roll into the state on Sunday. This storm won't do much precipitation wise, with only a few light snow showers in the mountains. In the Pikes Peak Region, Sunday will be cooler and cloudier, with our daytime high only warming into the lower 40s.
Monday's forecast will offer up more sunshine, allowing for temperatures to warm into the upper 40s and lower 50s on the Plains. Another disturbance on Tuesday will cool us down while increasing cloud cover across the region. Tuesday's storm could also bring another light dusting to the mountains, possibly even a few flurries to Teller County. Looking at the big picture, no significant storms appear to be on the horizon over the next 5 to 7 days.
