Matt Meister, Chief Meteorologist/Weekday Evening Meteorologist

Tonight:  Showers will stick around early this evening and may be accompanied by a little bit of thunder. After sunset, showers will gradually wind down and should for the most part be done by midnight. Still cool with lows in the 30s and 40s area wide.

Tuesday:  Partly cloudy again and still below seasonal averages with most areas in the 60s and 70s with a few mountain towns in the 50s. There will be a lot less in the way of showers, they'll mostly be over the mountains and won't produce as much rain as they did on Monday. Gusty wind may accompany any showers.

Extended:   We'll warm up Wednesday with hit and miss thunderstorm over the mountains still a possibility. Thursday should be a little cooler as we start off with some low clouds. We don't expect many storms, but if one or two can go they should be strong given the increase in low level moisture. The holiday weekend looks to be very warm and mostly dry with highs in the 80s and 90s for the plains, 70s for many mountain areas.
