Temperatures warmed into the 40s but northerly winds kept the wind chill going into the 30s. Tonight the high pressure drift overhead will calm the breeze and shift the winds south to tomorrow. Southerly winds and sunshine will bring highs of 50° and fairly pleasant weather for Monday afternoon. At the same time, our next winter system will take shape in eastern Colorado.
