Extended Outlook:
Periods of gusty wind and warmer than average temperatures will continue to for the Plains and I-25 corridor through early next week. Highs will top out in the 50s and 60s each afternoon through Tuesday, with dry skies also on tap. Our next storm will bring more strong wind and cooler temperatures to the forecast on Wednesday, along with mountain snow. That same storm system won't be as kind to the Plains, where only a few rain or snow showers will be possible.
