Extended Outlook: A quiet and tranquil weather pattern will continue through the end of the week before we usher in some big changes this weekend. The first sign of change arrives late on Friday, with a few snow showers possible across Teller County. A round of light snow and mixed precipitation moves in on Saturday followed by the potential of a heftier snow event on Sunday. It's early still, but the computer models are suggesting as much as 4-8" of snow across the Pikes Peak Region. Along with the snow, temperatures will be much colder from this weekend into early next week.
