Colorado Springs weather: Rainy morning gives way to breezy afternoon Tuesday
A storm system will move across Colorado on Tuesday, bringing early rain and snow showers to the Pikes Peak region, according to Gazette news partner KOAA.
“Tuesday will be an active weather day for southern Colorado,” Meteorologist Alan Rose said. “All precipitation should clear out by 9-11 a.m., with minimal accumulations for areas above 7,000 to 7,500 feet. The other story today will be, well you might have guessed it, more strong wind!”
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 66 degrees.
A red flag warning will be in effect along the Interstate 25 corridor from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Rose said.
“Today’s main fire danger threats will include the I-25 corridor from Colorado Springs south to the Colorado-New Mexico border.”
On the eastern Plains, a high wind warning will be in effect from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with gusts expected to approach 65 mph.
