The plains will have fog creep in around midnight and last throughout the night. It won't leave until the following morning when the sun rises. It will slowly creep west throughout the overnight hours. Going into the afternoon fog will disappear but this will actually prevent temperatures from getting too warm. Highs will be in the 60s.

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 41; High: 71/75;
The southern I-25 corridor will have lows in the lower 40s. Fog isn't as likely but there is still a small possibility. Temperatures by the afternoon will be in the mid-to-lower 70s.

Mountains forecast: Low: 30s; High: 60s;
The mountains will have some of the strongest gusts tomorrow, but mainly towards the higher peaks. If you are headed out to the mountains and want to avoid these conditions, it would be best to go earlier. Highs will reach the 60s by the afternoon.

Extended outlook forecast:
Looking ahead, gusty conditions linger from this trough moving through northern Colorado. There is a fire danger concern due to the relative humidity values dropping between 10-15%. Avoid any activities that require burning, like outdoor grilling. Temperatures take a brief dip into the 50s on Tuesday. The rest of the week, the patten looks pretty calm and consistent. We will gradually warm throughout the rest of the week.
