Extended Outlook:
After a hot and breezy Monday, a powerful cold front will slam into Southern Colorado late Monday night into Tuesday morning. At first, the front will bring a huge drop in temperatures and very strong winds to the News 5 viewing area. Then comes the rain and snow as a wintry mix of weather moves in during the day on Tuesday. The latest models are stalling out the low pressure system over the Utah and Colorado border, which could bring more rain and snow to our forecast through Wednesday. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Palmer Divide, the southern mountain ranges, Raton Mesa and the higher elevations in the Pikes Peak Region. These spots could collect as much as 4-8" of snow.
