After a bright and warm Wednesday, we are in for a rude awakening, that October is here and cannot be ignored!  First, a cold front is passing through this evening and will dump temperatures. Then behind it, winds go easterly, a cool, up-slope wind…through Thursday morning. A brief recovery into Friday is followed by another severe temperature drop…as well as a very unsettled pattern for later Saturday, through Tuesday of next week.

Colorado Springs: Low 46, High: 64. Clouding up, a few scattered showers overnight into Thursday morning. Breaks of sun developing Thursday afternoon. Breezy & cool.

Pueblo: Low 52, High: 70. Becoming cloudy. Very light scattered shower or two overnight into early Thursday. Sun breaks by afternoon.

Canon City: Low 50, High: 68. Clouding up, a few scattered showers overnight into Thursday morning. Breaks of sun developing Thursday afternoon. Breezy & cooler..

Woodland Park: Low 42, High: 60. Clouding up. Late-night sprinkles into Thursday morning. Decreasing clouds in the afternoon. Breezy & cool.

Tri-Lakes: Low 45, High: 62. Cloudy with a few showers tonight. Early showers Thursday, mostly cloudy afternoon. Breezy & cool.

The Plains: Low 52, High: 72. Clouding up tonight. Early shower Thursday, then decreasing clouds.

Trinidad/Walsenburg: Low 52, High: 74. Clear evening, cloudy late. Clouds early, then increasingly sunny.

Extended Outlook…so here’s the deal. Saturday through Monday, a series of low pressure systems are going to get log-jammed around each other, and the jet stream will be influenced, by cutting off a large circular flow, allowing these mini storms to dumb-bell around each other, for several days, over the Rockies. What this means for us is, cloudy, very cool, and occasionally showery weather in that time period. It will take several days to break up the pattern. So, expect cold showers later Saturday, Sunday, and Monday…at least.
