A week ago, I made mention that tomorrow through early Tuesday, a touch of Fall will be in the air, and here it comes. A couple cool fronts will be dropping the temps and flushing out the entire air mass. So much so, that next week looks like a fine week, with PM storm chances low, and only Tuesday (Woodland Park), Wednesday (all), and Friday (all). But it is entirely possible that your back yard never gets wet next week, too. None of those days appear widespread.

Meanwhile, Sunday will be fun, because it will have a Fall feel…blustery and cool winds, cool temperatures, and fast-moving clouds that may drop some virga or a little light rain as they race across our skies in the afternoon. At night, skies become crystal clear, winds abate, and temps go south! Monday will be very blue and cool!

Colorado Springs: Low: 53, High: 73. Becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday, perhaps a brief PM sprinkle or shower.

Pueblo: Low: 58, High: 80. Becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday.

Canon City: Low: 59, High: 79. Becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday.

Woodland Park: Low: 44, High: 62. Becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday, perhaps a brief PM sprinkle or shower.

Tri Lakes: Low: 48, High: 68. Becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday, perhaps a brief PM sprinkle or shower.

Plains: Low: 60, High: 82. T-storms end early, becoming partly cloudy to clear at times tonight. Mixed sun & clouds, windy Sunday, perhaps a brief PM sprinkle or shower.

Trinidad/Walsenburg: Low: 59, High: 80. Early showers, becoming partly cloudy tonight. Mostly sunny, windy Sunday.

Extended Outlook…gorgeous but crisp and cool Monday, Tuesday seems very pleasant, save for a possible PM shower over higher elevations west. Wednesday, a little return moisture could spell a PM storm for some. Drier Thursday, and for Friday? See Wednesday 🙂
