Tonight's Forecast:
Quite a few clouds in most areas today with temperatures reaching the 30's and 40's over most parts of the viewing area. A storm out west is bringing snow to the divide and western slope. Amounts will be light. Even along the ridge tops 3" to 4" will be storm totals in most areas but a little fresh powder for the ski areas. That storm will bring snow showers to parts of the eastern plains Friday. The big weather story is the storm coming in tomorrow. The cold front rolls through early in the morning after the front winds will blow out of the north from 10 to 25 mph. So flaky and cold tomorrow with that wind. Snow totals will be real light with a trace to 1" in some spots with higher amounts in the mountains southwest of Pueblo.

The front will be dry in most areas. Temperatures recover a little for next Thursday (Christmas Eve).
