Marty’s Sunday Morning Forecast – Not As Warm – 10/28/18

Today: Sunny & cooler for lower elevations today with temperatures remaining in the 40s and 50s for most of the morning. During the afternoon the air will warm into the 60s for most areas, but a few spots south of Pueblo and the Denver area might reach the 70s. The mountains shouldn’t notice much change in the weather as compared to Saturday with most communities in the 60s again.

Tonight: Mostly clear and breezy at times with temperatures remaining pretty warm through about midnight. After midnight a cold front will bring a brief period of gusty wind to the plains, and after the cold front passes the air will cool into the 40s for the plains, mainly 30s over the mountains.

Extended: Sunday will be a cooler day for the plains, especially during the first half of the day. Temperatures will likely hover in the 50s and 60s around Colorado Springs and Pueblo for much of the afternoon. A few spots south of Pueblo could reach the 70s Sunday afternoon, and that may also happen around Denver. The mountains won’t have much change in the air temperature from Saturday with mainly 60s again. Monday looks windy and very warm everywhere with high temperatures in the 70s to lower 80s for the plains, mainly 60s over the mountains. Colder air will begin moving over the state Monday night and Tuesday with high temperatures falling into the 40s and 50s and a few rain showers possible over the plains; snow showers possible over the mountains. A stronger shot of cold air looks to move over the area just in time for Halloween (figures) with high temperatures in the 30s to lower 40s for the plains, 20s and 30s over the mountains. It also seems quite possible that more areas will see some snow. Thursday should be a little warmer but a second, weaker wave should arrive late in the day, cool us again and possibly cause a few rain and snow showers to develop late Thursday into Friday. The following weekend we get to set the clock back an hour.
