Tonight, temperatures will stay mild, especially near the foothills. Tomorrow, a quick moving system will kick up our winds- but the winds coming down the mountains will keep things warm. Expect highs to reach the low to mid 70s on the plains and even warmer in the lowest elevations. Wind gusts will stay between 15 and 25 mph, but in the foothills, they could get even stronger. Red Flag Warnings for high fire danger are in effect Monday for northern Colorado near Fort Collins and south near Colorado Springs.
On Tuesday, it will cool down just a bit, with temperatures still above normal. A cold front from the northeast will bring some cooler air, and highs will reach the mid-60s. Winds will stay strong, with gusts reaching 30 mph, especially on the eastern plains. While it won’t be too chilly, it’ll be a bit cooler than the warm weekend.
The weather will remain calm and mild on Wednesday and Thursday. A weak weather system will pass to the south, but it won’t bring any major changes. Temperatures will stay above normal, but dry conditions could cause fire risk to stay high in some areas. Winds will be lighter, but fire danger is still something to watch, especially on the plains.
By Friday, a fast-moving weather system will bring very strong winds, with gusts possibly exceeding 60 mph in northern areas. There is some uncertainty about rain or snow with this system. It’s unlikely that we’ll see much snow on the plains, but the mountains could get some. If it does snow, the strong winds could cause some whiteout conditions, so we’ll keep an eye on that as the week goes on.
