Today’s Forecast:
Let the flip flops and Hawaiian shirts fly today, we’re going to see the warmest air of the year today! There are Red Flag Warnings in effect through the San Luis Valley, so be careful in that region with elevated fire danger. Cloud cover will be thick at times but it shouldn’t affect the warm-up too much, we’re still seeing highs in the lower elevations well into the 70s and low 80s. Tonight we’ll see fewer clouds and low temperatures will fall back to the low to mid-40s.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK:
As warm as today is going to be, Thursday will be just about as nice! Temperatures will be around 2 to 3 degrees cooler than today, but with stronger winds and higher fire danger in the I-25 corridor and grassy areas. A few showers are possible late Thursday night after 10 pm with a better chance for rain Friday from the morning to the afternoon. A bit of snow is possible Friday night, especially in the mountains, but with very low accumulation expected.
