Extended Outlook:
Friday will be a tad warmer, but still cold enough for a windy and chilly end to the week. A disturbance will bring snow to the mountains on Saturday, but will miss most of us. Teller County could see some snow flurries Saturday, but accumulating snowfall is not expected. We're watching for a better chance for snow late Monday and Tuesday, but it's still a ways out to pinpoint storm specifics, so stay tuned.
