Marty’s Sunday Morning Forecast – Too Much Wind – 10/11/2020

Overview: We’re tracking a warm, windy Sunday followed by a cooler workweek.

Today: Partly cloudy and windy with conditions becoming favorable for the spread of wildfires for many areas. We will be warm again high temperatures in the 70s and 80s for the plains and 60s to lower 70s for the mountains. A few sprinkles or brief rain showers are possible over primarily the mountains around the Pikes Peak Region late, but we do not expect much precipitation anywhere. Wind gusts may exceed 40 mph at times this afternoon.

Tonight: Partly cloudy with a few sprinkles possible over the mountains this evening, then gradually decreasing wind and turning colder with low temperatures in the 30s and 40s for most areas, but the high mountain valleys will cool into the 20s.

Extended: The air will cool into the 60s and 70s for most areas Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday should be windy and very warm with fire weather conditions likely again. Another cold front will drop temperatures into the 60s and 70s through the end of the week, but we still look to remain dry.
