Clear conditions will continue through the evening, and we will be hitting that low close to sunrise. We will be heating back up tomorrow because of a high-pressure system that is currently parked over Colorado. Sunscreen is a must this week.

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 60/61; High: 94/92;
Lows will dip into the 60s, but by the afternoon we should reach highs in the low to mid 90s. There is a chance of seeing some quick showers roll of the mountains, but nothing too severe. These will just be quick sprinkles.
Mountains forecast: Low: 40s; High: 80s;
The mountains will cool into the 40s this evening, and by the time we get into the afternoon tomorrow, we will be in the 80s. UV indexes will be high in the higher terrain, so it's important to protect your skin and wear sunscreen. It won't take long for you to burn.
Extended outlook forecast:
A high-pressure system will be with us for the first part of the week, which will bring us near record breaking temperatures. There could be some areas that see a greater fire risk because of the heat and drier conditions this week. Once we get to the back half of the week, we should get a little bit of relief with some rain showers.
