Tonight’s Forecast:
Most of the thunderstorms have been confined to the mountains, but a few may still spread onto the I-25 corridor. The greatest threat from these are lightning and gusty winds. As quickly as they develop, they also die down due to the heating of the day. With little wind in the atmosphere, the storms don’t move much, so they will bring a brief downpour should you find yourself underneath one. Tonight, the storms will fizzle out by 10pm and the skies will become partly cloudy with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
Monday will bring a more widespread threat of showers and storms. Clouds will develop earlier in the day and we’ll be under mostly cloudy skies. Although thunderstorms will once again develop in the mountains, a stronger line will develop on the plains thanks to a dry line. Highs will be much cooler, topping off in just the lower 80s for the Springs and upper 80s to lower 90s for Pueblo.

Extended Outlook:
After the Monday, we find ourselves back into a more routine summertime pattern with morning sunshine and afternoon mountain thunderstorms. Highs will slowly creep into the mid and upper 80s, with the final temperature depending on the cloud cover and thunderstorm development. As of right now, Independence Day looks great with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 80s for the Springs and lower 90s for Pueblo. As we head towards the holiday weekend, a fresh cold front will move into the state and drop our temperatures. It will also bring a chance for showers and storms for both Saturday and Sunday.
