A meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo wrote in Friday’s Area Forecast Discussion that a few showers and storms are possible Friday afternoon and evening, mainly along the Kansas border, but that none are expected to be severe and most of the rain should stay east of the area.
Cold front arrives Monday with rain and a wind shift
