Tracking patchy frost as temperatures drop tonight

THIS AFTERNOON: Windy and cool with mostly sunny skies. Highs in the lower 60s.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear as winds begin to die down. Lows in the upper 30s.

EXTENDED: Gusty winds continue throughout the day as high pressure begins to settle in following a strong low pressure system that continues to work to our east. Winds finally die down tonight as the surface high pressure gets overhead, allowing temperatures to drop into the upper 30s to around 40 under clear skies. Patchy frost will be possible for the next two nights as skies remain clear, so very sensitive plants will need to be covered or brought inside. Highs on Wednesday and Thursday reach the mid-60s. Low pressure tracking across the Plains late in the week slides to our south between Friday and Sunday, bringing a chance for rain beginning on Friday. Showers are possible into Saturday and Sunday as the system looks to move through slowly, but the axis of most widespread, measurable rain will sit along and south of I-70 where amounts will reach 1-2." Temperatures on Friday and Saturday will remain in the upper 50s to around 60, with a slight warm up on Sunday with less rain around. Next week starts off mild with highs near 70, but we could see another front between Monday and Tuesday that could bring another shot at rain and storms, along with a cool down for the rest of next week.
