Extended outlook forecast:
A ridge of high pressure will maintain a dry and mild forecast for the rest of the week. Tuesday's high of 63 degrees in Colorado Springs is expected to threaten our current record of 64 degrees from 1917. Highs will return to the 50s from Wednesday to Friday in Colorado Springs ahead of a potential pattern change this weekend. Snow showers will be possible from Saturday night into Sunday, with perhaps a White Christmas this year for parts of Southern Colorado.
