A chance for showers and storms are possible across the Pikes Peak Region Tuesday, but storms will be very “hit or miss in nature,” according to Gazette news partner KOAA. 

Rain will likely not hit the Interstate 25 corridor until much later in the day, possibly not even until the evening, according to KOAA Meteorologist Alan Rose. Storms on the eastern Plains will bring the potential for one-inch hail and wind gusts up to 60 mph. 

Tuesday’s temperatures will feature more seasonal warmth, with highs near 84 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo. Tuesday night temperatures will drop to around 54 degrees.

For Wednesday and Thursday, most rainfall should be closer to the mountains and foothills due to more dry, stable air, Rose said.

“Each afternoon, it’s possible that a quick passing shower could move across the Pikes Peak Region. Impacts from any storms would be short lived,” Rose said. 

Temperatures will remain in the middle 80s through Thursday before some incoming low pressure chills Colorado Friday. 

Here’s the forecast for Colorado for the rest of the week per the National Weather Service:

Friday: There will be a 40% chance for showers and storms after noon. Skies will be partly sunny with a high near 79 degrees. Friday night temperatures will drop to around 50 degrees as skies become cloudy and the chance for rain drops slightly.

Saturday: Skies will be mostly sunny with a high near 77 degrees and a small chance for showers and storms. Saturday night temperatures will drop to below 50 degrees. 

Sunday: Sunny skies continue with a high near 79 degrees. Sunday night will have a low of around 50 degrees.
