Tonight's Forecast:
After a very warm day thanks to a downslope windstorm, a big cool down heads our way tonight courtesy of a cold front approaching the area. Without much moisture, clouds will be minimal as this front rolls through, but winds will flip-flop: after a gusty day in the Front Range, with weaker winds in the plains, night time winds will be gusty in the plains, and, at least overnight, relatively light along the corridor.

Well, you won't be blown off the peaks tomorrow if you're up high! Mostly clear overnight with lows a few degrees either side of freezing. Winds stay gusty until midnight before relaxing toward morning. Sunny skies Friday with light winds, a bit breezier above treeline (10 mph vs 15-20 mph), but again, a fine day for outdoor recreating at most altitudes.
Extended outlook forecast:
A calm and cool start to the weekend with nice outdoor conditions. Saturday night becomes cloudy, with incoming moisture leading to a weak shower chance - if you have evening plans Saturday expect to bring the umbrella. Sunday will bring a dry start - but rain and snow showers arrive during the evening with a changeover to all snow possible Monday morning. Shower chances continue on Monday although they look light and sporadic for now. - stay tuned. Monday will also be quite windy as winds wrap around developing low pressure to the southeast.
