Extended outlook forecast:
Our weekend will start out mild, with partly cloudy skies early and mostly sunny skies during the afternoon. The high in Colorado Springs on Saturday will warm comfortably into the middle 60s. A potent storm system that will spread snow into the mountains on Sunday will bring us increasing clouds and a few degrees of cooling by Sunday.
Chances for snow will increase late Sunday night and into the day on Monday, with impacts possible for the morning drive to work. Monday's high will only warm into the 30s and 40s across Southern Colorado. Tuesday looks dry and mild with our high rebounding into the 40s and 50s. Then another disturbance that we're watching towards the middle to end of next week looks to bring an increased potential for snow and colder temperatures from next Wednesday to next Friday.
