Cold early, warming fast to the mid 50s, then rain through midday and storms possible this afternoon and evening; tonight's falling snow levels could make Monday morning's pass travel sloppy.

Colder air behind the storm is expected to hold Monday near 43°, well below the 54° expected today, as rain mixes with snow showers. Snow levels dropping overnight bring sloppy driving to pass level for the Monday morning commute, including I-70 over Vail Pass.
Wednesday's forecast high is 54°, leaning warm, with most of the models between 44° and 55°. A ridge overhead keeps it dry and mild; a fast clipper that arrives early would bring showers and a day in the mid 40s.
