Extended outlook forecast:
Temperatures remain well above average through the end of the week, in the 60s and 70s.

The storm we are watching for the weekend has slowed down a bit. Saturday is trending warmer in the 60s still. The cooler weather looks to arrive on Sunday when we drop to the 50s. Sunday also brings a chance of rain in Colorado Springs, with a slushy wintry mix possible in the evening. If a transition to snow were to happen Sunday night, accumulations would likely be light and only in the grass. Snow is expected in the mountains on Sunday, so prepare for winter driving conditions, especially in the high elevations.
