COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 30; High: 34. Easter Sunday will be a big departure from Saturday's weather. It will be windy and cold, with snow showers increasing throughout the day. Snow totals from a trace to 3", highest on the northern and western sides of town.

PUEBLO: Low: 38; High: 41. Brace yourselves for a cold, windy and unsettled Easter Sunday. Not much moisture is expected this far south, but we still expect to see rain and snow showers at times on Sunday. Snow totals less than 1".

CANON CITY: Low: 39; High: 43. With a stay-at-home order still in place for Colorado, Easter Sunday's forecast of cold, wind and snow will be another excuse to stay home. Snow totals from a trace to 2".

PLAINS: Low: 30s; High: 30s/40s. Easter Sunday will be windy and cold across the Plains. We're not expecting a lot of precipitation here on Sunday, but there still could be some scattered rain and snow showers during the day.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 30s; High: 30s/40s. Cold and windy on Sunday, with a chance for afternoon and evening snow showers. We won't see much accumulation for far southern parts of the I-25 corridor, with totals likely under an inch.

Extended Outlook: Snow should taper off in most areas by late Sunday night or early Monday morning, but it's a only expected to be a brief break as more light snow moves in Monday afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday will be mainly dry, with a mixed bag of precipitation possible late Wednesday night and Thursday. Temperature wise...overnight lows heading into Monday morning will be in the single digits and teens across Southern Colorado, with one more cold night expected Monday night/Tuesday morning. Cold highs will accompany those frigid lows until Wednesday when temperatures begin to moderate.
