Marty Venticinque, Weekday GMC/Noon Meteorologist

Today:  Patchy fog and/or drizzle are possible early Thursday, and low clouds could remain in place along and east of I-25 for a good part of the day.  The clouds should keep the air cool for all of eastern Colorado on Thursday with much of the day spent in the 50s to lower 60s, and a stout breeze will add a bit of a bite into the air as well.  Temperatures over some of the mountain areas may not change all that much as compared to yesterday since some communities will probably remain above the clouds, and for these areas spotty showers may develop late in the day again.  Clearing over the plains will occur most quickly this afternoon north of Monument Hill and south of the Arkansas River.  An isolated thunderstorm could also develop over the Raton Mesa (mainly Las Animas county)

Tonight:  A few showers may develop this evening and early tonight over the plains, low clouds should redevelop overnight along and east of I-25 as well.  Low temperatures in the 40s and 50s for most, a few 30s possible over the mountains.

Extended:  Any low clouds early Friday will break up pretty quickly with all of eastern Colorado becoming much warmer by Friday afternoon.  Most of the state will remain very warm & dry through the weekend, but there is a slight possibility that a strong storm or 2 could develop near the Colorado/Kansas state line Friday afternoon.  High temperatures this weekend will reach the 80s and 90s for the plains, 60s and 70s for the mountains.
