Rounds of showers will spread into the Continental Divide mountains
through Wednesday bringing some light to moderate snow accumulations
at times across the higher elevations above 10000 feet, particularly
Tuesday and Wednesday. Meanwhile the southeast plains will continue dry
and breezy with some elevated fire weather conditions at times along
the I-25 corridor both Mon and Tue in spite of a slow cooling trend.
Noticeably cooler and wetter conditions will spread into the
southeast mountains and plains on Wednesday behind a cold front.
Some light precipitation amounts will be possible, with the best
chances north of highway 50.
Thursday will remain cool with some isolated afternoon showers, then
drier and warmer weather will return for Friday into next weekend
with temperatures rebounding to near normal.
Afternoon dispersions will rise into the very good to excellent
range for Monday, and will lower into the good to very good range for
Tuesday, though there will be pockets of excellent conditions south
of highway 50.
