Today’s Forecast:
Starting this morning off very dreary and misty! Dense fog advisories will expire at 10AM, and we should begin to clear out. The sun will finally start peaking out around noon, but with the leftover moisture in place we can't rule out an isolated thunderstorm. Not everyone will see rain and thunderstorms, but it remains a possibility. It wouldn't be surprising to have some strong winds and hail with these thunderstorms.
Colorado Springs forecast: High: 66; Low: 44.
The Springs is starting off drizzly this morning along with some fog. We will start to clear out for our cloud cover once we make it into the afternoon. An isolated thunderstorm, especially for eastern El Paso county, is not out of the question.
Pueblo forecast: High: 76; Low: 43.

Extended outlook forecast:
Once we get into Sunday, things start to dry out. Temperatures will also begin to warm back into the 70s and even 80s in some areas. Strong winds will return and this will set us up for a fire danger risk. Humidity values will drop as low as 10% and winds will be between 30-40mph with gusts up to 60mph.
We will continue with the dry conditions through Monday, but an unsettled pattern sets in Tuesday. Thunderstorm chances will pick up during the afternoon each day next week.
