Today:  Breezy to windy at times and warm again in the afternoon with high temperatures reaching the 80s and 90s along I-25 and the plains, 60s and 70s and even a few 80s over the mountains. A Red Flag Warning is up from 11am to 8:00 PM for the mountains just west of I-25 and southern El Paso County. Isolated showers and t-storms over the far eastern plains possible.

Tonight:  Any isolated storms over the far eastern plains will end later this evening then partly cloudy overnight.  Lows will be in the 50s on the plains with 30s and 40s over our local mountains.

Extended: Increasingly windy next week with fire weather becoming more of a concern with time.  Very warm on Monday and Tuesday, a bit cooler Wednesday and Thursday with a slight chance for some generally weak thunderstorms over and near the mountains by Tuesday or Wednesday.
