Today’s Forecast:
Today is the start of a big warm-up over the weekend. We're going to see sunny skies, and a light breeze in the afternoon, and highs up in the 80s and 90s across the lower elevations. The bigger heat will follow on Saturday and Sunday with highs widespread into the 90s and even a few triple digits by Sunday.

COLORADO SPRINGS: High: 89; Low: 58. Sunny with a nice breeze in the afternoon and hot daytime conditions.

PUEBLO: High: 94; Low: 58. Sunny and breezy at times with hot afternoon temperatures.

CANON CITY: High: 92; Low: 63. Sunny and breezy at times with hot afternoon temperatures.

WOODLAND PARK: High: 80; Low: 51. Sunny skies and mild daytime temperatures with a nice afternoon breeze.

TRI-LAKES: High: 80s; Low: 50s. Sunny and warm with a nice afternoon breeze.

PLAINS: High: 90s; Low: 50s. Sunny and breezy at times with hot afternoon temperatures.

WALSENBURG/TRINIDAD: High: 90s; Low: 50s. Sunny with a nice breeze in the afternoon and hot daytime conditions.

Extended Outlook:
Saturday and Sunday will both be very hot with temperatures running well into the 90s and even a few triple digits, mainly on Sunday. We're going to get windy and a bit cooler on Monday before a big cool down on Tuesday. Pretty much all long-range modeling is suggesting there will be rain and snow across Colorado, and even some accumulating snow at elevations mainly over 7,000 to 8,000 feet. This will be followed by the first freeze of the season on Wednesday.
