Colorado Springs residents can expect cloudy skies Monday as a cold weather advisory is in effect with a high temperature near 6; brrrr.

“A secondary cold front is sweeping across southern Colorado this morning, complete with a reinforcing blast of frigid air,” Meteorologist Alan Rose with Gazette news partner KOAA said. “Temperatures will only warm into the single digits and teens this afternoon, with wind chill values expected to remain below zero for most areas throughout the day. A cold weather advisory will remain in effect today for Colorado Springs. Then beginning at 5 p.m., an extreme cold warning will go into effect, continuing until 11 a.m., Tuesday.”

According to Rose, wind chill temperatures during the day will likely remain below zero and tonight’s wind chill values are expected to drop as low as -25 to -35 degrees. 

Light snow showers will also be possible throughout the day, heaviest in the morning, with an additional 1″ of snow in some areas, according to Rose.

“Tuesday’s extreme cold warning should be allowed to expire by 11 a.m., and after wind chill temperatures down as low as -25 degrees in Colorado Springs in the morning, some warmer weather will follow Tuesday afternoon,” Rose said. “Our highs tomorrow will rebound into the upper 30s to lower 40s.”

“Our next cold front Wednesday will cool temperatures back down to the middle 30s and bring gusts to 30 mph to the Pikes Peak region,” Rose said. “Thursday remains chilly ahead of a warmer end to the week as Friday’s forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies and highs near 50 degrees.”
