Tuesday looks dry but even windier with Red Flag Warnings in effect from 10am till 8pm. A cold front will knock about ten degrees off the highs for Tuesday but we’ll stay dry. A cutoff low looks to bring very wet conditions back into southern Colorado by the end of the week with moisture moving in late Thursday night and giving us rain off and on through Saturday morning.
