Extended outlook forecast:
Tonight begins mainly clear, turning mostly cloudy by morning. Another closed low, pacific-origin storm system will track toward Colorado Sunday. Moisture and lift ahead of the low will bring a band of rain through the plains of southern Colorado in the morning. Showers are likely along I-25, with snow again in the mountains. A lull in activity is possible over the plains in the afternoon. As the low continues moving through Colorado, we'll see some wrap around precipitation on Sunday evening. Depending on timing, this will lead to a wintry mix in the Pikes Peak Region, with the potential for a bit of snow over the Palmer Divide.
Monday itself will be warmer, briefly. A cold front arrives Tuesday leading to a large temperature drop and a chilly afternoon. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s. The front brings in Canadian air, resulting in lows plummeting down to the 20s and teens. Wednesday is still cool with that air mass slowly departing and slightly warmer than Tuesday- with highs in the 40s and 50s. Then, we trend back to average by Thanksgiving.
