Extended outlook forecast:
An incoming Pacific storm will spread rain and snow into the state on Thursday. Snow levels in the mountains will start out in the 10,000 to 11,000 foot range before lowering down to around 9,000 feet late Thursday night. With highs in the 60s on the Plains, we won't see snow from this storm, but instead a chance for showers from Thursday evening into Friday.
As the system drops to our south on Friday, highs will be cooler, only warming into the upper 50s to close out the week in Colorado Springs. Temperatures will rebound back into the 60s and lower 70s this weekend from Colorado Springs to Pueblo, with increasing wind on Sunday ahead of our next storm. The latest trends for early next week are in favor of cooling highs and gusty wind, with little moisture outside of the mountains.
