PLAINS: Low: 30s/40s; High: 60s. We'll see periods of rain and scattered thunderstorms on Tuesday across the Plains. Some storms over southeastern parts of the state could become severe. Biggest storm threats will include quarter-sized hail, frequent lightning, heavy downpours and wind gusts to 60 mph.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: Low: 30s; High: 50s. Rain and thunderstorms will make for an active Tuesday. Isolated strong storms will be possible from late afternoon through the late night hours.

Extended Outlook: As Tuesday's storm exits to the east, we'll be left with a lot more sunshine on Wednesday and only minimal chances for afternoon showers. Several disturbances late in the week will increase rain chances for both Thursday and Friday. It will also be colder late this week. A nice warming trend looks to follow heading into the weekend and next week, bringing 70s and 80s to Southern Colorado.
