Pueblo will also fall into the 30s tonight, but 60s are expected tomorrow. You'll see more of a rain-snow mix and if there is any accumulation it will be more of a trace. Since Pueblo is much lower, it is more difficult to transition into snow, especially at these temperatures.

Advanced Forecast Forecast:
Leaving this storm system behind, Election Day looks to be sunny and warmer. The roads can still be a bit muddy. So be careful when you go to the polls.

Wednesday brings even bigger changes, and this storm system could potentially be more severe than the one we'll see on Monday. This system appears to be stalling over the state, which could result in higher snow totals. This is still being sorted out and things could change before we reach that point.
