Extended outlook forecast:
A cold front will arrive on Friday morning which will cool down our temperatures initially and then bring rain and snow showers later in the day. It looks like at this point that the rain/snow line on Friday evening will fall to about 7,000 feet so the foothills and Monument Hill will see a couple of inches of heavy wet snow into Saturday morning. Highs will drop into the 40s and 50s for Friday and Saturday, then warm back up into next week.
