Today’s Forecast:
The first full week of Summer is here, and we’re finally going to feel like it! After a chilly morning, dry air and sunshine will work together to push temperatures into the 60s in the mountains and 80s across the plains. A few thunderstorms are going to try and form over the mountains in the Pikes Peak region and push east towards Colorado Springs, but dry air at the ground should limit most rain from actually hitting the ground. Tonight we’ll be dry and calm with lows falling back towards the 50 degree mark.
COLORADO SPRINGS: High – 80; Low – 50. Sunny skies through the morning with building clouds, heat, and wind through the afternoon. Storms will try and form over the mountains and push into Colorado Springs through the afternoon, but dry air should make it so only gusty winds hit the ground with little to no rain.
PUEBLO: High – 86; Low – 51. Sunny skis through the morning with only a few clouds into the afternoon. It will be hot and breezy through the day with dry skies expected into the evening.
