WEATHER ALERT: Pattern Change Arrives Tonight

TONIGHT: Another round of heavy rain for the lower elevations and heavy snow for the mountains is expected late tonight and into early Saturday morning. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for Pikes Peak, the Wet and Sangre De Cristo Mountain Ranges as well as the southwestern mountain ranges as temperatures are expected to get cold enough to allow for heavy snow, leading to dangerous travel in these areas. Overnight lows will be cold in the 20's to low 30's.

TOMORROW: Expect a very wet start to Saturday, with ongoing rain for the lower elevations and snow for the higher peaks. Off and on showers are to be expected throughout the afternoon and into the evening, with the potential for a few stronger storms near the Colorado/New Mexico state line. Highs will be noticeably colder, with 40s and 50s for most.

EXTENDED: Some clearing expected Sunday as our storm system begins to move eastward across Colorado. A few more showers and storms are expected throughout the day on Sunday, with highs only slightly warmer than Saturday. Drier and warmer weather returns on Monday with highs in the 60s and 70s once again. Our next cold front looks to arrive on Wednesday, but it doesn't appear to be quite as impactful as highs are only expected to fall into the 60s for most.
