Today’s Forecast:
The cold front from Monday slowly pulled moisture into southern Colorado overnight, and easterly winds are pushing that moisture up against the mountains this morning, forming heavy cloud cover. The clouds will stay fairly thick against the mountains, foothills, and adjacent plains for the first half of the day, with breaks in the clouds arriving through the afternoon. Rain chances are pretty slim today, but a cold front this afternoon could spark a few isolated showers against the mountains, especially the mountains south of Fremont County. Tonight we'll see clear skies with temperatures falling far back into the lower 50s.
