Colorado Springs weather: Friday rain showers begin a wet weekend
Colorado Springs will likely see showers and scattered thunderstorms throughout the weekend, according to Gazette news partner KOAA.
Friday is expected to be overcast, with a high temperature in the mid-50s and possible showers in the afternoon and evening, according to KOAA News5 meteorologist Alan Rose.
“Our forecast will remain on the unsettled side this weekend as we see a return to more typical spring weather,” Rose said. “Highs each afternoon in Colorado Springs will warm into the 60s, with morning sunshine followed by scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms.”
Winter storm warnings are currently in effect in Teller County and in the mountains for Friday.
“A brief break in the action is possible on Monday before a daily threat of showers and thunderstorms returns to the forecast by midweek as our next cold front drops into southern Colorado,” Rose said.
