While parts of western Colorado are seeing snow and winter storm warnings, the eastern plains will be under a range of temperatures – from 40s to 60s, and even potential low 70s around Trinidad.

Eastern Plains

Most of the northeastern plains will remain cloudy throughout Sunday, with some areas seeing light rain through the morning. While the Sterling area will see temperatures in the mid-40s, Limon, Eads and Lamar will be in the 50s, while La Junta, Springfield and Kim will be in the 60s.

Overnight Sunday, low clouds and areas of fog are expected.

Monday’s highs will generally be in the upper 40s to upper 50s across eastern Colorado. The northeast and east central areas will pick up a few degrees over Sunday, while the southeast drops slightly.

A cold front enters the area Monday night, bringing a noticeable change to Tuesday’s temperatures. Highs for most areas will be off by 20 degrees, dropping to the 30s, though Baca County we see more limited temperature impacts. Chances for rain and snow increase Monday night through Tuesday, decreasing by Wednesday morning.

By midweek, temperatures are expected to rebound into the mid- to upper 40s.

West Slope

Southwest Colorado will continue to enjoy moderate weather Sunday, with highs in the 50s, while the northwest – particularly the upper elevations - will see colder temperatures and as much as a foot of snow on top of two to 12 inches that has fallen over the past day. The lower elevations may see rain mixed with snow through Monday night until temperatures drop below freezing.

Monday’s highs will be similar across the west ahead of a cold front Tuesday that drops the northwest to highs in the 30s while the southwest remains in the 50s.

Rain and snow are expected to end by Tuesday evening, and a high-pressure ridge will help start a warmup to near-seasonal temperatures to close out the week.
