Today's Forecast:
Cold and unsettled weather will bring us a not so great start to the weekend. The main part of the storm will stay along and south of Highway 50. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the mountain valleys and southern I-25 corridor until late this afternoon, and through midnight in the mountains.
The other big story today will be the cold. Highs will only warm into the 30s and 40s.

MOUNTAINS: High: 10s/20s; Low: 0s/10s. It will be a very cold start to the weekend for the mountains. Highs will only warm into the 10s and 20s, and not only will it be cold, it will also be snowy. An additional 4-8" of snow will be possible through midnight across some mountain areas.
Extended Outlook:
Sunday's weather will be a major improvement from today. Highs will be around 10-15 degrees warmer and the sun will help to melt away some of the more recent snowfall. Monday will start out nice before our next cold front comes barreling into Southern Colorado by the late afternoon. Accompanying the front will be strong wind gusts and a rain to snow transition, along with some thunderstorms. Several inches of snow will be possible for the Plains by Tuesday morning and the morning commute is likely to be impacted by the snow.
