Temperatures have been on a bit of a roller coaster this week – from scorching 90s, to the low 80s.

That trend continues Saturday as we go from storms to sun, and temperatures climb toward the 90-degree mark again. We’ll generally reach the upper 80s this afternoon in the Pikes Peak Region, with mainly sunny skies in the morning, and a chance for a weak shower during the afternoon – timing between noon and 5 p.m.

These isolated storms will mostly be gusty wind makers. Otherwise, expect a blend of mostly sunny, to partly cloudy conditions with a modest afternoon breeze at 10-15 mph.

Fun fact: we’re now past our earliest sunrise for the year, which was on June 13. Our sunsets will keep getting later until June 27. Our longest day – the summer solstice, is on Thursday, June 20.

Looking ahead

A hot Father’s Day is on tap for the Pikes Peak Region as high-pressure noses north over the state.

Highs will be in the mid 90s on Sunday – I expect we’ll be below the record high of 100 degrees at the Colorado Springs Airport, but it will nonetheless be toasty.

Monday remains hot with low 90s, with a cold front on Tuesday morning bringing some relief and additional moisture. I wouldn’t rule out an an isolated weak afternoon shower on Tuesday afternoon although right now, it’s not looking like a big deal.

Wednesday through Friday are slightly more unsettled with chances for afternoon showers and storms each day. Right now, Wednesday and Thursday provide the best odds.
