Temps continue to warm along the front range under sunny skies. Readings will be about 5-6 degrees above the average for this time of year. It won't be as windy today as it was yesterday, but it will still be breezy in spots. It will be breezy this morning and this afternoon in Colo. Springs and Pueblo. Wind gusts will range from 15-20 mph. Stronger winds are expected in Calhan and Falcon. The strongest winds today will be in places like Lamar and Springfield where gust will exceed 35 mph.
Clear and colder tonight with lighter winds expected overnight. Lows will fall into the teens and 20's.
Mostly sunny skies Saturday with warmer than average temps again. Highs will be back into the 50's and 60's!
Our next weather change will arrive on Sunday as clouds increase and temps cool down. Later in the day Sunday a Pacific storm system will move into the four corners area....eventually tracking into western Texas. Starting late Sunday into early Monday we'll see a good chance of rain turning to snow. Monday morning's commute could be a bit tricky due to this storm. We'll be watching closely to pinpoint the track of the storm. As of today it appears that the storm will be a bigger issue from Pueblo and areas south along the front range and less of a factor for northern Colorado.
Much warmer weather expected Tuesday and St. Patrick's Day Wednesday.
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to 'Spring Forward' one hour Saturday night!
