Extended outlook forecast:
A change in the weather for Sunday evening! A strong cold front will start to move through the viewing area in the late afternoon. Rain showers in the Pikes Peak region will change over to snow by the early evening. The heaviest of snow will be in the Palmer divide where 4-8" is expected. In the lower elevations, maybe an inch or so for Colorado Springs before the cold air slides south and saves the heavier snow for the Raton Mesa, Sangres and Wet Mountains. Rain snow line should be around 7,000 ft.

Monday will start off with lingering snow showers before gradually giving way to some afternoon sun. The cold air will stick around a bit though as we'll have a steady climb back to seasonal normals by the end of the week.
