Tri-Lakes forecast: Low: 50s; High: 70s/80s; A nice and mellow start to our Monday will give way to showers and thunderstorms by the late afternoon and evening hours. Some rain could be locally heavy, which has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flood Watch for the Palmer Divide.

Extended outlook forecast:
The atmosphere will remain primed for more rain late Monday night into early Tuesday morning, with another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms returning by Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday's highs will be refreshingly cool across the region, topping out in the 60s and 70s from Teller County into the I-25 corridor.
Lingering moisture will maintain storm chances Wednesday afternoon before the moisture retreats back towards the mountain ranges later this week. This will allow for drier weather along the urban corridor and a late week warm-up.
