Today’s Forecast:
After record-breaking heat on Sunday, temperatures today will be as much as 20-25 degrees cooler across Southern Colorado. An overnight cold front will be the reason for today's cool down. Temperatures will top out in the 50s and 60s this afternoon.
Monday's forecast will also be breezy to gusty in the wake of last night's cold front. Northerly winds this morning will turn southerly and southwesterly this afternoon, with gusts around 20-30 mph.

Mountains forecast: High: 40s/50s; Low: 20s/30s. Statewide snowpack right now is currently at 28% of average and the potential for snow this week in Southern Colorado remains very low, with only a small chance for snow in the northern mountains on Friday.
Extended outlook forecast:
For the rest of the week, it will be a roller coaster ride of temperatures. Tuesday's highs will soar back into the 70s and 80s on the Plains. Tuesday's record high in Colorado Springs sits at 78 degrees, with Pueblo's record at 82 degrees.
Wednesday's highs will cool back down to the 60s and lower 70s, with just minor day to day changes throughout the rest of the week. While snow is not expected to happen this week, the wind could prove problematic at times. Thursday looks like our windiest day. With gusts to 30 mph and low relative humidity, fire danger will also be elevated across Southern Colorado.
