Thursday and Friday

Thursday begins mostly cloudy before skies gradually clear, with a high near 65. Thursday night is mostly cloudy with a low near 41.

Friday brings a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon, with a high near 61. Rainfall totals are expected to be less than a tenth of an inch, though thunderstorms could produce more. The forecaster noted that confidence in the moisture reaching far southeast Colorado is not high, as similar setups have sometimes tracked east into Kansas. Showers remain possible Friday night, with a low near 41.

Extended outlook

Saturday is partly sunny with a high near 60. Sunday is mostly cloudy with a high near 60, and a chance of showers returns Sunday night.

A stronger storm system is forecast to move in late Saturday into early next week. Forecasters said the heaviest precipitation is expected in the mountains, but the plains could see wrap-around moisture Monday and Tuesday, along with windy conditions, depending on the storm's track.

Saturday, Halloween, is forecast to be partly sunny and dry, with a low near 40 overnight.
