Extended outlook forecast:
A large area of low pressure brings cooling temps to Southern Colorado this weekend along with windy conditions, particularly Sunday and Monday, with Tuesday remaining breezy. This weather maker will generate clouds through the weekend and early week, with another chance for showers Tuesday and Wednesday. Depending on timing, Woodland Park, and the hills, could see a few frosted snowflakes by mid-week! Temperatures cool majorly compared to tomorrow - and you'll be able to tell the difference.
