Tonight's Forecast: Isolated showers will continue this evening, with even a few thunderstorms possible across the eastern Plains. In addition to the rain, snow showers over the mountains this evening will wind down later tonight. Overnight lows in Southern Colorado will drop back down to the 20s and 30s.

COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 31; High: 64. Warmer and sunnier on Tuesday, with strong afternoon breezes expected across El Paso County.

PUEBLO: Low: 33; High: 71. We'll see further warming on Tuesday. Our forecast will also be much brighter during the day, with another round of strong breezes.

CANON CITY: Low: 37; High: 68. Tuesday's forecast will be a nice spring-time treat, great weather for those looking to get outside and breathe in some fresh air away from others.

WOODLAND PARK: Low: 26; High: 53. After some rain and snow showers Monday night, Tuesday will be mild, bright and breezy across Teller County.

TRI-LAKES: Low: 20s; High: 50s. More sunshine than clouds on Tuesday, with highs warming well into the 50s.

PLAINS: Low: 30s; High: 60s/70s. Tuesday's weather will be pretty fantastic across the Plains. Temperatures will be mild, but it will again turn pretty breezy by the afternoon.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 30s; High: 60s. Sunshine, mild temperatures and breezy westerly winds will all add up to beautiful Tuesday.

Extended Outlook: Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week, and a Weather Alert day here at News 5 due to increasing fire weather conditions. A Fire Weather Watch has already been issued for a large part of Southern Colorado on Wednesday, and this will likely get upgraded to a Red Flag Warning before going into effect at 11 am. Strong and gusty winds will continue to dominate our forecast through Thursday before our next storm arrives on Friday. Even though it's still a ways out, better model consensus is suggesting chances for rain and snow from Friday morning through early Saturday morning.
