Extended outlook forecast:
A cold front will cross the region tomorrow morning. It's likely to stall out as an associated region of low pressure treks east. Upper level southwest winds will mix down during the afternoon leading to a renewed fire threat as Red Flag Warnings return for many of the zones that had them today. Highs remain above average, but cooler than today with more cloud cover.
A few showers are likely in the afternoon and evening hours Sunday continuing into Monday morning. The Palmer Divide and Woodland Park could see a brief period of a wintry mix or snow. Impacts will be limited by the warm temperatures of the last several days. If a brief coat does manage to stick, it should quickly melt during the morning commute.
High pressure returns in the middle of the week leading to more above-average temperatures, with potential fire risks in the second half of the week.
