Today’s Forecast:
A cold front backed through Colorado this morning and you’ll feel the effects through the afternoon. The winds will be strong today, especially out across the plains, where we’ll see gusts into the 20s through the mid afternoon. Temperatures will struggle to leave the 50s in the plains as the coldest air moves under heavy cloud cover. The mountains and San Luis Valley will see the warmest temperatures today as the Front Range blocks out the coolest air. It’s a good idea to cover the plants tonight as several lows will fall into the 30s.
It’s been dry and the ground fuels are critical in a few areas, Fire Weather Watches are in place across western El Paso and Teller counties. If you’re camping this weekend be careful pic.twitter.com/AICcXLsbK6
