Colorado Springs weather: Moderate temps and breezy conditions Thursday
Colorado Springs is forecast for another day of moderate temps and breezy conditions, Thursday.
According to meteorologist Alan Rose with Gazette news partner KOAA, Thursday will pose dry and windy conditions across the plains, with chances of minor snowfall at higher elevations.
“Almost identical to Wednesday, we’ll see another disturbance move across the state this afternoon,” Rose said. “Snow will impact travel into the mountains on Thursday, with a dry, mild and breezy day for the plains. The highest gusts of 30 to 40 mph will be confined to the foothills and mountains, with 20 to 30 mph gusts likely for the I-25 corridor and eastern plains.”
Expect sunny conditions Thursday and a high of 53 degrees. Temps are anticipated to drop to the mid-20s overnight.
According to Rose, a cold front will move into the Pikes Peak region Friday, bringing moderately snowy conditions through Saturday morning.
“A cold front early Friday morning will shave off around 15 to 20 degrees to our highs, with Colorado Springs only warming into the upper 30s. Moisture behind the front will hold off until later in the day, with snow developing towards late afternoon to early evening,” Rose said.
“Light accumulations of a trace to 2 inches will be possible into early Saturday morning, with 1 to 3 inches of snow in the forecast for Monument Hill and Teller County.”
