Tonight’s Forecast:
The thicker cloud cover this morning helped to inhibit the development of afternoon thunderstorms. As a result, the majority of the showers and storms were kept to the mountains where sunshine was in greater supply. However, some of those storms are likely to move onto the I-25 corridor early this evening. Although the majority of the storms will die off once the sun sets, there is still enough moisture and energy to keep some of these alive. The longer they last, the more cloud cover will stick around overnight and into Monday. And, the more cloud cover there is to start Monday, the less of a chance there is for afternoon showers and storms in Southeast Colorado.

COLORADO SPRINGS: Low: 55, High: 84. Lows tonight will once again drop into the lower to mid 50s under mostly cloudy skies. Partly to mostly cloudy for Monday morning and early afternoon with isolated showers and a chance for a thunderstorm. Highs into the lower to mid 80s.

Extended Outlook:
Once Tuesday rolls around, we’ll get a bit of a reprieve with the afternoon convection - mostly sunny and much warmer. However, chances for afternoon thunderstorms return once again for Wednesday and last through next weekend. The question will be how great a chance and for which areas. The weather pattern will be in flux without any real organization to storm development and direction. As the days get closer, we’ll continue to update the chances, but for right now, we know that the development will begin each of those days in the mountains and high valleys.
