A cold front moved through yesterday and brought some much needed relief to the area. Temperatures in some places are almost 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. Unfortunately, Fall is not quite here yet in terms of the temperatures this week. Tonight we will be getting down into the 40s across southern Colorado.

Low's tonight for the Tri-Lakes area will get into the mid-40s. Highs will be back in the mid 70s for tomorrow. That elevation is what is helping to keep us on the "cooler" side tomorrow. Everyone else looks to get into the 80s. Temperatures will remain steady going into this upcoming week.

Mountains forecast: Low: Lower 40s; High: Mid 70s;
The mountains are staying steady in terms of their temperatures. Alamosa has broken their daily high 6 days in a row now, and they will likely tie it again today. Mid-70s are expected to start out your week along with mostly clear conditions.
Extended outlook forecast:
This stubborn high-pressure system will likely rebuild again this week, which will continue to give us above-average temperatures. There are a couple of different reasons why we are seeing this high-pressure system stick around. We haven't had another system move through to help push out this warm air. Even with cold fronts moving through, they aren't strong enough to overcome this system.
As for this upcoming week, temperatures shouldn't fluctuate as much. Most of us will be right on the line between 70s and 80s. We could be looking at a potential cool down this weekend, but this could change by the time we get there.
