After an active day of weather that brought hail and tornadoes to Kiowa County, Memorial Day will see a much calmer start, with sunny skies and seasonal temperatures expected.

Look for fog to clear by mid-morning as high temperatures reach the low 80s. Morning winds will be out of the southwest in the 5-10 mile per hour range, shifting to the south later in the day and increasing to 20-30 mph. Gusts could be as high as 40 mph in most areas.

Overnight, expect mid-40s with continuing south winds in the 20-25 mph range. Gusts to 40 mph are predicted to continue into the early evening.

Currently, KiowaCountyPress.net Live Weather from downtown Eads shows [weather:currwinddir] wind at [weather:currwindspeed] mph. The temperature is [weather:currtemp].

Elsewhere in Colorado, a winter storm watch is in effect along the Continental Divide. Ongoing late-spring snow storms are keeping seasonal mountain passes, such as Independence Pass, closed as Colorado Department of Transportation crews continue efforts to open the road – a task usually completed by Memorial Day.
