A fast moving upper level disturbance and weak cold front will move south today, with scattered rain and snow showers through late this afternoon and early evening. The higher mountains of central and southern Colorado stand the best chance to see snowfall today with trace to 2 inches above 10,000 feet. Mild temperatures will keep rain below this level with lower valleys too dry to see much of any precipitation. The presence of virga in the lower valleys will result in breezy to windy conditions near any showers. A dry and warming trend is in store with daytime highs rising back above normal Wednesday through the end of the week. Another storm may impact the region towards the weekend.
