Colorado Springs weather: Warm but breezy Tuesday, with highs in the low 70s

Colorado Springs residents should expect warm, dry conditions on Tuesday ahead of a cold front that could bring showers later in the week, according to Gazette news partner KOAA.

Tuesday is expected to be sunny with a high of about 72 degrees and wind speeds of 5-15 mph.

“The final day of April will be a warm and breezy one for southern Colorado,” Meteorologist Alan Rose said.

The Interstate 25 corridor will see wind gusts of 25-35 mph, while the San Luis Valley could get gusts of up to 50 mph, Rose said. A red flag warning will be in effect for the San Luis Valley 1-7 p.m.

“Avoid activities that could start a fire on any and all red flag warning days,” Rose said.

Here is the extended forecast from the National Weather Service:

Wednesday: A 10% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 71. South wind 10 to 15 mph.
