Overnight the wind will calm down with overnight lows dropping to the 20s.

On Friday conditions will be mostly sunny with temperatures slightly above normal in the low-50s.

On Saturday snow returns to the mountains, with a chance for light snow showers along the I-25 corridor Saturday night into Sunday morning.
