Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 20s/30s; High: 50s/60s; A warm and windy end to the weekend for the southern I-25 corridor. You'll want to enjoy it before a strong case of weather whiplash arrives by the middle of next week.
Mountains forecast: Low: 10s/20s; High: 30s/40s; A windy, but dry end to the weekend for the mountains ahead of snow that's expected to push into the high country during the day on Monday.
Extended outlook forecast:
We're expecting a pretty nice start to the week on Monday ahead of a potent cold front that will bring a strong case of weather whiplash to Southern Colorado. Snow showers will develop over the mountains on Monday, with the potential for some light snow showers along the I-25 by Monday evening. With a predominant west and southwest flow, this is expected to be a substantial snow maker for the mountains, with 1-2 feet possible through Thursday.
Although the Plains are likely to see some snowfall from Monday night through Thursday, the bigger story will be the Arctic air that settles into the lower elevations. Highs will only warm into the 10s during the day, with single digits and negative lows for the overnight hours.
