A cold front in place across the plains will usher in cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity values today, and help support additional shower and thunderstorm chances over much of southern Colorado this afternoon into the evening. The strongest storms over the higher terrain will be capable of producing gusty winds up to 50 mph and brief heavy downpours. Early morning westerly drainage winds will shift more to the east southeast by late morning and midday. A wetter pattern will be in place for much of the week into the weekend, with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms, along with the risk for heavy rainfall. .REST OF TODAY...
