Rain showers overnight will give way to beautiful autumn weather

A small but close-knit storm system over the Four Corners area of ​​southwest Colorado helped produce a few severe thunderstorms over eastern Pueblo and La Plata counties Sunday evening. Winds gusted to nearly 40 miles per hour and pea-sized hail fell east of Pueblo. Another wave of showers and thunderstorms will develop during the overnight hours as this storm crosses the Southeast Plains and then conditions will become drier across the state.

Look for overnight temperatures in the low 40s and expect some patchy fog shortly after sunrise Monday morning. Then there will be sunshine across the sky for the rest of the work week with daytime highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. And yes, you can expect sunshine next Saturday too.

If you're traveling into the high country, you can expect mostly dry roads Monday morning, but you'll also see a fresh layer of snow over the Sangre de Cristo Range, Wet Mountains and San Juan Mountains. Enjoy the week ahead.
