Still need to get those Christmas lights up on your house? KOAA meteorologist Casey Dorn is tracking a quiet, and mild day across the region, and says Saturday will the best day this weekend for any last-minute outdoor decorating.

Today’s Forecast: 

High pressure returning to the state will produce large-scale sinking motions in the atmosphere Saturday, which will lead to quiet and calm weather with mild highs in the low 50s across the Pikes Peak Region.

These highs are about 5-10 degrees above our seasonal average.

While the day will be relatively quiet, modest high-level moisture will lead to patchy high clouds during the afternoon. Winds will be out of the south at 10-15 mph.

Extended forecast: 

An upper-level system similar to what we saw on Friday will impact the region on Sunday. The day will be breezy as a result, with wind gusts in the 25-35 mph range during the afternoon. Sunday will the warmer day of the weekend due to the downslope breeze with highs in the mid-50s.

A dry and breezy cold front will then swing through in the evening. Further ahead, we will move between quiet high pressure and weak upper-level systems for several days.

MONDAY: Seasonable in the 40s

TUESDAY: Breezy in the 50s

WEDNESDAY:  Seasonable in the 40s

THURSDAY: Back to the mid-50s, as we switch between modest high and modest low-pressure systems.

The only chance for any moisture this week is Tuesday night, when the Colorado Springs area could see a flurry or two associated with a cold front.
