Extended outlook forecast:
A ridge of high pressure building into the state this week will help to kick out the cold and bring some warmer weather to Southern Colorado by the middle of the week. Highs on both Tuesday and Wednesday will warm into the 50s on the Plains, with overnight lows in the 20s.
Our next disturbance will usher in a return to colder temperatures for all areas late this week and snow for the mountains. A cold front on Thursday could bring a few flurries to our forecast on the I-25 corridor, but for now, the bulk of the wintry weather looks to stay over the high country late this week. As for temperatures, highs late this week will only warm into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
