Thursday is going to be sunny with a high of 31 and light winds. North-northwest winds will be around 5 mph; enjoy the sunshine while it last.

“Another surge of cold air has brought some very cold air to southern Colorado this morning,” Meteorologist Alan Rose with Gazette news partner KOAA said. “High elevation areas will remain below zero during the early morning hours, with single digits and teens on the Plains.”

According to Rose, cold air will linger throughout the day with highs only reaching into the 20s and lower 30s. 

“Rain or snow is not expected state-wide for the next 24-36 hours,” Rose said.

The next couple of days will be a roller coaster of weather for Colorado Springs residents. 

“On Friday, breezy downslope winds will drive up our temperatures into the middle to upper 40s,” Rose said. “Then on Saturday, our next cold front will drop highs back down to the 20s. Light snow is likely during the day, with snow tapering off during the overnight hours. Snow totals in the Springs are expected to range between a trace to 2″, with 1-3″ for Monument.”

“The second half of the weekend will be dry and cold, with highs in the lower 30s,” Rose said. “We’ll see 40s and sunshine next Monday followed by another chance for some light towards the middle of next week.”
