With the storm track well to our north on Tuesday, unsettled weather will not impact us here today in Southern Colorado. Instead, we're looking at another mellow day, with further warming expected across the region. Highs today will top out in the 40s and 50s on the Plains, with 20s, 30s and 40s in the mountains and mountain valleys.
Colorado Springs forecast: High: 48; Low: 24. More sun than clouds, light winds and warmer highs this afternoon should help to push the mercury into the upper 40s on Tuesday.

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: High: 40s/50s; Low: 10s/20s. No significant wind and no snow in our Tuesday forecast. Instead, we're looking at a bright and mild day, with highs this afternoon climbing into the 40s and 50s.
Mountains forecast: High: 20s/30s; Low: 10s/20s. If the mountains have been calling your name lately, but you worry about driving during a winter storm, well today is the day for you. We're expecting bluebird skies in the high country today and highs in the 20s and 30s.
Extended outlook forecast:
A few weak disturbances will begin to impact the mountains with light snow by mid to late week. On the Plains, we won't see the potential for any wintry weather until the very end of the week. Instead of snow, we're looking at a mild and partly cloudy day Wednesday before turning breezy on Thursday.
A cold front on Friday will drop highs by around 15 to 20 degrees and bring the potential for some light snow showers late Friday to areas outside of the mountains. For now, snow chances are fairly low as this storm lacks the support and instability necessary for a big fall of snow. After a couple of cooler days Friday and Saturday, temperatures will rebound as we close out the weekend and approach Presidents Day.
