Today’s Forecast: Another very warm day is ahead, with highs peaking about 20 degrees above average. Today we will have a thick layer of high cirrus clouds across the state.

COLORADO SPRINGS: High: 65; Low: 30. A very warm day is expected with light winds and high clouds.

PUEBLO: High: 62; Low: 25. A gorgeous day with high clouds and light wind.

CANON CITY: High: 63; Low: 29. A big boost in temperatures today, with high clouds.

TRI-LAKES: High: 50s; Low: 30s. Nearing very close to 60° today with high clouds. Enjoy!

PLAINS: High: 60s/70s; Low: 20s. Mid 60s and even low 70s (for Springfield) in the Plains. What a beautiful day.

Extended Outlook:
Monday will feel very similar to today, with high clouds and warm air. Then the first round of cooler weather arrives Tuesday, although many spots will stay above average in the 50s. This next storm brings snow to the mountain peaks, but trends mostly dry east of the continental divide. Several rounds of cooler air leave next week closer to average, in the 40s. We are seeing the first signs of the next snowmaker, favoring the south and southeastern portions of the state on Friday and Saturday. Stay tuned.
