Today’s Forecast:
High fire danger returns to the southern half of our region, from Pueblo County down to the New Mexico border and out into Otero County. The winds will be gusty at times during the morning, but they'll blow much more consistently through the afternoon. Temperatures will be a couple degrees warmer than Sunday, with light winds overnight allowing for a very cold evening.

Extended Outlook:
Tuesday is going to be the nicest day of the week with plenty of sunshine, warmer air, and light winds through the day. Wednesday will start breezy and dry but with rain and snow moving in from the north Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Rain will quickly turn to snow and leave concern for icing conditions on the roads overnight. Thursday morning's commute will likely be slick and slow moving from accumulating snow. It's still a bit early to tell exactly how much snow will fall, but it's safe to say the Pikes Peak Region will see at least 2 inches, probably more from current guidance, and Pueblo could see around an inch or more. We'll have a better idea tomorrow with updated model guidance!
