Weak high pressure will combine with a stout southwesterly flow aloft to bring dry and mild weather Tuesday and Veterans Day.

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 through Wednesday. Another weather system may bring wintry weather to the mountains by Thursday, with light rain and snow possible (but not likely) for the plains and Front Range.

Extended Outlook, 8 to 14 days:

The Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the next 8-14 days (November 17 - November 23) is calling for slightly above average temperatures and slightly below average precipitation.
