North winds today will keep temperatures very cool with Colorado Springs warming only into the low 50s and near 60 degrees in Pueblo. The winds will gust up over 20 mph today making temperatures feel much cooler. North winds will keep the bulk of the moisture no the Palmer Divide and Monument Hill as well as into the mountains west of I-25. Monument will likely see snow mixed in with rain through the morning but accumulation will be little to nothing as the roads are still warm. Woodland Park and much of Teller county will see the best snow accumulation with 1 to 3 inches expected through today. Tonight we’ll be dry and the winds will die down as temperatures fall into the 30s and 40s.
