Tonight’s Forecast: With the Red Flag Warning set to expire Sunday at 7 pm, we're expecting a break from the strongest wind overnight tonight. Temperatures will be slow to cool after such a warm day. Lows will eventually cool down to the 50s along the I-25 corridor, with unseasonably warm 60s for the Plains. A new Red Flag Warning goes into effect Monday at noon.

TRI-LAKES: Low - 40s/50s; High - 70s/80s. Monday's forecast won't be all that different from what we saw on Sunday. With a Red Flag Warning in effect during the day, windy and dry weather is expected.

Extended Outlook: After the potential for record breaking temperatures on Monday, a more pleasant fall-like shift to the weather pattern takes place beginning on Tuesday. Daytime highs will return to the 60s for the Springs through the middle of next week, with upper 50s and lower 60s for the mountains. A weak front moving into Southern Colorado on Tuesday could bring some showers to the Plains. An easterly flow pattern resumes behind the front, with a cloudy and cooler day on Wednesday. There could also see a few showers Wednesday morning. Dry and mild Thursday. Warmer, with a chance for isolated showers on Friday, with a nice and pleasant weekend to follow.
