Today’s Forecast:
A truly beautiful Saturday is ahead in much of Colorado as low pressure pushes east and a ridge of high pressure arrives. Expect mainly sunny skies all day and dry air leading to quick temperature jumps and drops.
Tonight's sunset is at 6:06 PM. Including today, there are 6 more 6:00 PM or later sunsets left this year. The next 6 PM or later sunset after that will not be until March 8th, when daylight saving time resumes in 2026. That makes this your last weekend with a later-afternoon sunset for outdoor activities until 4 months from now. Enjoy the nice weather if you can!

Extended outlook forecast:
More morning fog is in the cards Sunday across parts of the plains, and it will dissipate through the morning.
Otherwise, Sunday is similar to Saturday with nice conditions overall in southern Colorado with periodic high and mid-level clouds, with similar high temperatures - slightly cooler in the mountains. It will become breezy in the afternoon and evening as the jet stream moves overhead. Showers are possible in the mountains, particularly the northern mountains, which could pick up several inches of snow. A quick sprinkle is also possible in Teller County.
The breezes pick up Sunday night into Monday and continue into Tuesday. A cold front will arrive on Monday leading to a much cooler day on Tuesday. The main front moves through early, but the main push of cold air will arrive in the afternoon - which is a fairly typical pattern in southern Colorado. The front also may bring a weak shower to parts of the Palmer Divide.
The mid week will feature near normal temperatures and sunshine.
