Plains forecast: High: 50s; Low: 10s/20s. A sunny and nice day ahead for the Plains, with northerly winds a little gusty out towards the eastern part of the state, where we could see some occasional gusts up near 20-30 mph.

Extended outlook forecast:
High pressure will weaken while moving east of Colorado on Wednesday, and although we'll see a few more clouds tomorrow, highs will remain in the 40s and 50s in Southern Colorado. Our first in a series of cold fronts will drop into the state on Thursday, with some changes expected here locally late this week. Highs will cool by around 10-15 degrees as snow becomes widespread across the mountains. A few flurries will be possible for parts of the I-25 corridor and Pikes Peak Region on both Friday and Saturday, but the potential for accumulating snowfall outside of the mountains appears to be very low at this point.
After highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s late this week. temperatures will warm into the middle 40s this weekend, with strong breezes possible each afternoon.
