Today’s Forecast:
Cloudy and cold today across southern Colorado, but with warm enough air to get some of that snow melted down in the Pikes Peak Region! We should stay dry across most of the region today, but a few stray snow showers may move east of the Continental Divide towards Teller and western Fremont Counties, as well as the Sangres. Tonight will be cloudy, cold, and dry.

WOODLAND PARK: High: 40; Low: 26. Mostly cloudy and cold today with a small chance for flurries by the end of the. Any late day snow would lead to no accumulation, and we will be dry through most of the night.

Extended Outlook:
Friday we're going to see the small chance for a few snow showers over our mountains, and maybe a few areas of showers from I-25 east to the plains in the morning. Most of the rain and snow on Friday will come after lunchtime, from the afternoon through the end of the day. Light snow is expected over the high county like the Front Range, down to the Wet and Sangre De Cristo mountains, with really just rain expected east towards I-25 and the adjacent plains.

The winds will get very strong Friday afternoon and blast with 40 to 60 mph gusts from Friday evening through Saturday at noon across the region. The weekend looks sunny and warmer, especially by Sunday.
