Scattered showers and storms across the mountains are expected today, but really only virga should move out of the mountains and into I-25.

Extended outlook forecast:
Friday will be another hot and breezy day with thunderstorms generally staying west of I-25 in the mountains. Models support a few isolated showers over the eastern plains in the afternoon, but gusty winds and virga seems more likely than rain.
A strong cold front Friday night through Saturday morning will bring a pattern change through the weekend. We'll be much cooler on Saturday with even cooler weather to follow by Sunday. Storms will develop Saturday afternoon with rain to follow Saturday night through Sunday morning. We'll keep seeing rain through Sunday and into Monday with drier and warmer weather into next week.
