Your 24/7 NOWCAST:

Partly cloudy and cool overnight. Temperatures will drop into the lower 30s by morning.

Your 24/7 Synopsis:

A weak surge of cooler air is filtering into Colorado. This will mean an increase in cloud cover, and cooler temperatures. Monday will be cooler, with any shower activity ending by afternoon. Weak high pressure will combine with a stout southwesterly flow aloft to bring dry and mild weather Tuesday and Veterans Day. We are expecting the cool air to move east of Colorado by Tuesday, with a dry and milder weather pattern.

Your 24/7 Planning Forecast:

A strong southwesterly flow aloft will be the dominating factor for our weather Tuesday and Wednesday. This will bring dry and mild conditions to most of the state. Some of our forecast models are hinting at a cold front dropping in on us late Thursday, however other models are showing the front not arriving until Saturday. Some light rain and snow is expected for the end of the week, but not a major storm.

Extended Outlook, 8 to 14 days:

The Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the next 8-14 days (November 15 - November 21) is calling for slightly above average temperatures and slightly below average precipitation.
