Tranquil Tuesday weather ahead of mid-week wind and snow

After some beautiful weather on Tuesday, a strong trough of low pressure digging into Colorado from the north will bring some big changes to our forecast by the middle of the week. The exact storm track is not yet known, but on it's current path, this would be more of a wind maker than snow maker for Southern Colorado, with the bulk of the snow hitting the mountains. Before the storm arrives, strengthening down slope winds Wednesday will bring warmer 50s back to our forecast. Behind the front Wednesday night and Thursday, we're looking at the potential for 30-50 mph wind gusts across the Plains, as well as some light snow during the overnight and morning (Thursday) hours.
