It's like Mary Poppins made the forecast today, our weather will be practically perfect in every way!

Colorado Springs forecast: High: 72; Low: 42. Sunny with light winds and dry skies. Temperatures will be around 12 degrees above average.

Pueblo forecast: High: 78; Low: 40. Sunny and a little hot with dry skies and light winds. Temperatures will be around 12 degrees above average.

Extended outlook forecast:
Record heat is possible across the plains on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Colorado Springs will tie a record if we hit 80 degrees tomorrow, and we'll easily break a record with low 80s on Wednesday. Pueblo may be a couple of degrees short of the record Tuesday, but we will easily break records Wednesday.

Fire danger increases across the eastern plains Tuesday with more easterly fire danger through the middle of the week.

Rain and snow chances return Friday, with most of the snow staying up above 8,000 feet Friday evening.
