Extended outlook forecast:
From Wednesday through Friday, temperatures will remain about 10 degrees above average in the 60s and 70s. It will be dry with high clouds for the rest of the week.
Winds will increase on Friday ahead of our next cold front. The cold front and incoming storm system will drop temperatures this weekend and bring moisture to the state. The highest chance for precipitation between Friday and Sunday will be snow in the mountains. There is potential for rain or a wintry mix east of the mountains and for I-25 on Saturday or Sunday. There is high uncertainty in the storm track and where showers will fall. But this cool-down will last a while, through all of next week at least.
