let's check in with a couple weather watchers. 73 from ron down in southwest littleton. we're in the 70s behind it. one wyoming working its way down. that would be working into colorado pretty soon. you can see that here on the current wind speeds it's been breezy on the eastern plains all day but look at this burst of wind right now coming across the border. that's the leading edge of the second surge of cooler air. behind the front there is a band of showers even some snow in some of the higher elevations of central wyoming. i don't think the srs look up here. here come that front the little surge of showers i just showed you they gradually dissipate as they approach colorado. we may see an increase in cloud cover as the second surge comes in. can't rule out a few light sprinkles somewhere but it is so dry here at the surface i don't think the showers are going to survive as they continue their southward trek. today much cooler. southeast colorado you did not feel these cold front so you're going to stay in the 70s up high with some high 80s on the western slope. south

you can see slow speeds through king carol, littleton, really showing slow speeds both east and westbound along c-470. that's a tough drive on the southwest side. >> oh my goodness, that looks rough. for us, we have started with haze and drizzle and fog especially along fort collins. brief mid-day clearing before showers return this afternoon and this evening. starting as thundershowers by 3:00 to 4:00 and tapering off to very light showers lasting passed midnight tonight. temperatures today will be quite cool. even with a bit of mid-day sun, we can only manage mid-60s to near 70 degrees here. similar to what we'll see in the mountains. it will be warmest in western doll college. partly sunny. afternoon rain and thundershowen a quarter to a half an inch. tonight, light showers continuing until 10:00 tonight. cloudy and foggy with a good guess what's in this box? uh, no, don't. i'll just tell you: clean, renewable energy. cool, right? fact is, xcel energy is the nation's number one provider of wind energy, and has been for over a decade. whoa! that's wind for ya. ? wind, wind, wind, wiiind. ? xcel energy. ? >>> it's>>> 8 it's 8:00 on "tod"
