Extended outlook forecast:
The weekend will bring in increased atmospheric moisture with a few shower chances on Saturday afternoon, especially for the plains. Later in the day some models are indicating a few shower chances for the I-25 corridor, but I think we will likely trend a little bit drier as we get closer to Saturday. Good mountain snow is expected by then as well. Sunday and into early next week with dry back out as cooler temperatures stick around. By the middle of next week some more changs in the high country could move back in. Details to come...
