Colorado Springs weather: A cooler weekend is in store, with rain likely
Emily Bejarano/The Gazette
As advertised, Friday’s forecast brought rain back to Southern Colorado, and it was our wettest day this month so far in Colorado Springs.
Behind yesterday’s cold front, we’ll see a much cooler day today. Highs will be around 10-15 degrees cooler region-wide, with afternoon temperatures on Saturday in the 70s and 80s on the Plains.
Storms will develop in the mountains this afternoon, with storms not likely for I-25 and the eastern Plains until after 3 or 4 pm.
Much like yesterday, the potential for unsettled and wet conditions to stick around through this evening. While it won’t rain the whole time, you should plan for showery conditions this evening if you’re heading to the fair in Pueblo or out and about for date night in the Pikes Peak Region.
