Monday’s forecast

The Pikes Peak region was expected to see partly sunny skies Monday morning with a high of 89, then some afternoon thunderstorms and showers. 

Small hail was possible from some of the strongest storms. If headed to Calhan for the El Paso County Fair day, a similar picture: patchy morning clouds with seasonal summer temperatures in the 80s, and storm chances in the afternoon and evening. 

A monsoon-like pattern is in the cards for the end of week into this weekend, keeping daily storm chances in the forecast and highs remaining near average.
