Extended Outlook:
A cold front will slide into Southern Colorado on Friday, with a good chance for widespread rain across the News 5 viewing area. This is good news as much of the area has been very dry this past month. Rain should move east by late Friday night before another batch of showers and storms moves in by Saturday afternoon. Temperatures behind the front will cool to comfortable levels on Saturday, with a warmer and drier day for us on Sunday.
