Warm weekend ahead for Kiowa County, then rain and a 20-degree cooldown by Tuesday
Eads opens the weekend sunny and warm, with Friday climbing to near 90 degrees and Sunday pushing to about 94 before a cold front drops highs into the low 70s by Tuesday. Saturday turns briefly cooler and breezy behind a weak front, and the best rain chance of the period arrives Monday night.
Friday brings full sunshine to western Kiowa County, with a high near 90. Winds start out of the south-southeast at 5 to 10 mph before shifting to the northwest during the morning. Friday night stays mostly clear with a low around 60 and an east-southeast breeze that goes light and variable before dawn.
"Temperatures ebb and flow through early next week with a slow increase in precipitation chances," a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo wrote in Friday's Area Forecast Discussion. Forecasters expect readings across the plains to run 5 to 10 degrees above seasonal levels Friday, with highs mainly in the 90s.
Front brings rain, sharply cooler air early next week
The period's significant weather holds off until Monday night, when the cold front attached to a Pacific storm system crosses eastern Colorado. Showers become likely around Eads Monday evening, with a thunderstorm possible before midnight and a continued chance of showers and storms afterward. The chance of precipitation is 60 percent, and the overnight low falls to about 54.
Tuesday stays unsettled behind the front, with a slight chance of showers, thunderstorms possible after noon and a high of only about 71 under partly sunny skies. A northeast wind of 15 to 20 mph gusting to 30 mph will make the day feel cooler still. Forecasters in Pueblo said monsoonal moisture should linger in west-to-southwest flow through the end of next week, keeping daily rain chances in the forecast.
No fire weather warnings or advisories were in effect for Kiowa County or anywhere in the Pueblo forecast area Friday morning. The office noted spotty critical fire weather conditions were possible over and near the higher terrain to the west, mainly in the Central Mountains, the mid and upper Arkansas River valley and parts of the San Luis Valley, but said conditions were not widespread enough to warrant any fire weather headlines.

Extended outlook
Monday remains warm and breezy ahead of the front, with mostly sunny skies, a high near 90 and a southwest wind of 15 to 20 mph turning southeast in the afternoon.

Drivers and anyone working outdoors Saturday and Sunday should expect wind gusts to 30 to 35 mph, which can push dust across open county roads and make high-profile vehicles harder to handle.
