Dry skies will return by Monday morning as temperatures cool down to the 40s, 50s and low 60s.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 40s/50s; High: 80s/90s. Heading back to work and school on Monday, we'll see a hot and dry start to the week as highs climb into the 80s and lower 90s.

MOUNTAINS: Low: 40s; High: 70s. Sunshine early will turn to a mix of sun and clouds by the afternoon as isolated thunderstorms start to pop up over the mountains. The best chances for rain will be over the central mountains and areas north of Highway 50.

Extended Outlook:
Our next weather maker will push into Southern Colorado late Monday into early Tuesday, with increasing chances for rain and cooler temperatures through Tuesday evening. Tuesday's unsettled weather conditions will transition back to a more tranquil pattern beginning on Wednesday as dry skies settle back into the region. Our extended forecast looks dry, hot and breezy, with the potential for elevated fire weather concerns by next weekend.
