A rebound toward average temperatures Wednesday will occur around Colorado Springs.
“After yesterday’s cold front, we’re starting out our Wednesday cold and breezy,” Meteorologist Alan Rose with Gazette new partner KOAA said. “The wind will weaken during the morning hours, leaving us with light northerly breezes and cooler highs this afternoon.”
Daytime highs will only warm into the 30s, 40s and lower 50s across southern Colorado depending on where you live.
“Our high in Colorado Springs of 44 degrees on Wednesday will come up well short of our average high of 54 degrees,” Rose said.
High pressure will return late this week, boosting temperatures into the lower 60s in Colorado Springs and Pueblo on Thursday. Highs will cool slightly Friday, warming into the 50s on the Plains.
“A west Coast storm will send a cold front into Colorado on Saturday, with gusts to 25 mph on Pikes Peak, but no incoming rain or snow threatening plans this weekend,” Rose said.
Highs on Saturday will top out in the lower 50s, with upper 40s by Sunday in Colorado Springs.
“Early next week, we’re tracking another piece of energy from the west Coast storm,” he said. “The heaviest precipitation looks to stay mostly to our east, with smaller chances for rain and snow showers locally next Monday and Tuesday.”
Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 61. West northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming south in the afternoon.
Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 59. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming south in the morning.
Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 53. West southwest wind around 10 mph.
