SNOWY SUNDAY EXPECTED

Overview:  Winter is about to make a comeback...

Tonight:  A few stray rain/snow showers west of I-25 favoring higher terrain areas this evening. ground temps still warm so any snow will likely melt as it reaches the surface. Temps tonight in the 30's under partly cloudy skies

Saturday:  Again, it's possible that northern parts of our coverage area could have a brief burst of wind-driven snow this morning, but for most areas we're just expecting a blustery, cooler day. Clouds will be more prevalent over northern areas during the day, but we expect most areas to see some sun at times. High temperatures will reach the 50s to lower 60s for the plains along and south of the Arkansas River, mainly 40s over our local mountain communities and high mountain valleys. Temperatures on the other side of Monument Hill will likely only reach the 30 and 40s.

Extended:  A second system will bring much colder air over all areas Saturday night and Sunday with snow developing over many areas by Sunday morning. The southeastern corner of the state may miss out on the snow for much of the day, but the air will still be considerably colder.  Snow will be possible again mainly over and near the mountains on Monday and then for more areas on Thursday. The week as a whole will be much colder with high temperatures most days in the 30s and 40s, although Wednesday could be a little warmer for some areas.
