Showers, strong north winds on tap Monday for Lamar and Prowers County
A weather front will bring a good chance of showers and strong north winds to Lamar and Prowers County on Monday, the National Weather Service in Pueblo said. Tuesday looks sunny.
Monday will start breezy, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2 p.m. Showers become likely, and a thunderstorm is possible, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. The chance of rain is 70 percent.

Eric Petersen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo, wrote in Sunday's written forecast discussion that "strong north winds will develop by afternoon behind the cold front" over the eastern mountains and plains.
