Pueblo forecast: Low: 53; High: 87; A few degrees cooler on Sunday, with mostly sunny skies and a little bit of a breeze from the southeast during the day.

Woodland Park forecast: Low: 41; High: 76; Sunshine and 70s for Teller County, a tough combination to beat anytime of the year!
Tri-Lakes forecast: Low: 40s/50s; High: 70s; A slight cool down Sunday probably won't be noticeable for most of us as skies will remain sunny on Sunday for the Tri-Lakes areas.

Mountains forecast: Low: 30s/40s; High: 60s/70s; Not much change temperature wise on Sunday, but it will remain windy, with southwesterly wind gusts up to 40 mph.
Extended outlook forecast:
After a slight cool down on Sunday, highs will rebound big time early next week as we approach what is likely to be the hottest period of weather this year for Southern Colorado. The hottest two days will come on Tuesday and Wednesday, with 90s and 100s for the Plains.
Part of the reason for the warm-up will be strengthening downslope winds, with widespread gusts Tuesday around 30-40 mph. Moisture returns to the state late next week as thunderstorm chances increase starting on Friday.
