Extended Outlook:
Fire Weather Watches have already been posted for Wednesday as our weather pattern will change very little over the next 48 hours. A welcome sight late this week will be Thursday morning's cold front, which looks to offer up a good 10 to 15 degrees of cooling for Southern Colorado. Rain chances will also increase after the front's passage Thursday afternoon and evening, with more scattered thunderstorms possible from Friday afternoon through the weekend.
