Extended outlook forecast:
An unsettled pattern continues early next week with low pressure still in place. Another gusty day Monday with more widespread showers and storms, a couple of which will be strong. The mountains and plains are likely to see storms, with the best shot on the I-25 corridor being the northern section. A cold front arrives Tuesday and cools temperatures mid-week to seasonable and below average levels.
