The official start of the spring season is just around the corner, but it already feels like it across much of Eastern Colorado! We were in the low 70s Monday with more unseasonably warm weather on tap this week.
Look for partly cloudy skies overnight with lows bottoming out into the low 30s by Tuesday morning. A weak front will drift across the state early Tuesday, allowing daytime highs to drop just a few degrees compared to Monday.
We'll have plenty of sunshine Tuesday morning with increasing clouds during the afternoon. Highs will soar into the mid to upper 60s with gusty winds at times up to 30 mph.
The weather stays 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 by 10 to 15 degrees, but dry conditions could cause fire risk to stay high in some areas.
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.
