Temperatures in the afternoon will still be on the cooler side in the upper 50s. Wind will also pick up as well in the afternoon, so it will be a good day for a jacket.
Tri-Lakes forecast: Low: 33; High: 60;
The Monument area will be very close to freezing tonight. Frost will likely form across the area. Temperatures in the afternoon will rise into the lower 60s. With strong wind gusts, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the jackets out.

Extended outlook forecast:
Looking ahead, temperatures will rebound back into the 70s for the I-25 corridor. Gusty conditions will pick up again on Monday, but temperatures are still expected to stay warm. We are watching another low-pressure system that looks to arrive Wednesday evening and into Thursday. With the cooler temperatures and increase in moisture this makes a wintry mix possible for the mountains and Woodland Park. I-25 will likely still be too warm for a mix.
