Although cooler than average for this time of the year, it should feel pretty nice this afternoon with all of that sunshine that we're expecting.

Pueblo forecast: High: 57; Low: 25. A mostly sunny and mild day will make for a gorgeous end to the week in Pueblo, with our high today climbing into the upper 50s.
Canon City forecast: High: 55; Low: 29. Chilly this morning, but turning mild as our afternoon high on Friday will warm into the middle 50s under mostly sunny skies.

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: High: 40s/50s; Low: 20s/30s. Clouds from a disturbance moving across New Mexico today will spread north into our area, with the potential for maybe an isolated rain or snow shower down across the southern border.
Mountains forecast: High: 30s/40s; Low: 10s/20s. We'll see a mostly sunny to partly cloudy day in our state's southeastern mountains and mountain valleys on Friday, with highs today only warming into the 30s and 40s. A disturbance moving across New Mexico could bring a few flurries to the southern Sangres, but accumulations are not expected.
Extended outlook forecast:
Temperatures will warm a few degrees each day this weekend under the influence of a building ridge of high pressure. Winds will be light each day, and there will be plenty of sunshine from the mountains to the Plains.
A warm and dry pattern looks to re-establish next week over the state, with no sign of any snow or cold air outbreaks in our forecast. With a ridge of high pressure firmly in place, highs will peak in the 60s and 70s on the Plains around the middle of next week.
