Extended Outlook: After several days of high fire danger and unseasonable warmth, a storm coming out of California will bring a nice cool down to Southern Colorado on Friday, along with chances for rain and snow. The storm won't bring much moisture with it, but still across the Pikes Peak Region, there could be several inches of snow from Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. It should be rain from Pueblo east into the Plains. After a dry day on Sunday, another chance for precipitation returns next Monday.
