A few isolated rain or snow showers will be possible through late this evening, especially for the mountain and foothill areas, as well as the southern I-25 corridor.

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 20s/30s; High: 60s; Light winds and bright skies on Tuesday, and after a few cooler and showery days, our forecast is looking real good for the next few afternoons.
Mountains forecast: Low: 10s/20s; High: 30s/40s; Tuesday's weather looks to be the nicest day of the week for the southeastern mountains of Colorado. Snow will return on Wednesday, with the cold and wintry weather continuing into Thursday.
Extended outlook forecast:
Wednesday will bring a mixed bag of weather to the state, with our next storm bringing snow to mountains throughout the day. For the Plains, it will be a classic case of the "warm before the storm", with highs expected to soar into the 60s and 70s.
A cold front late Wednesday night will bring some big changes to our forecast on Thursday, with a rain to snow transition as colder air settles in across the Plains. It's a little too soon to give an exact region-by-region snow totals forecast as the storm is still several days out, but given the latest model data, this looks like a 1-4" storm for Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Canon City, with 3-6" totals for Woodland Park and Monument. Stay tuned for the very latest from First Alert 5.
