Afternoon Showers Possible Each Day This Week

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy skies tonight with a slight chance for a passing, light shower. the best chance for these showers is over south-central portions of the state. After midnight expect mostly clear skies with overnight lows going down to the mid to upper 40s.

TOMORROW: Tuesday is when we introduce the chance for more rain, mainly during the afternoon hours. Tuesday morning into the early afternoon we will have partly cloudy skies. During the afternoon hours we will have variably cloudy skies and a chance for scattered rain showers. Some of these rain showers could be moderate and there is a chance for a thunderstorm in the afternoon for Colorado Springs although the most unstable weather should be in the south-central part of the state as well as the eastern plains.

EXTENDED: Wednesday we should see similar weather as we did Tuesday with partly cloudy skies from the morning into the afternoon. During the afternoon there is a chance for scattered rain, some of which could be heavy, and the possibility of a thunderstorm. The best chance for thunderstorms is once again in the eastern plains. Colorado Springs and Pueblo have a better chance for thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon than Tuesday afternoon. If they develop, we could see higher wind gusts, moderate to heavy rain, and possibly some small hail. The chance for larger hail is over higher elevations and across the eastern plains. Expect similar conditions through the rest of the workweek with afternoon showers possible Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will remain higher than normal through this week. There will be a slight cool down Friday after the passage of a cold front, but then the temperatures go right back up this weekend with the high for Colorado Springs in the mid 80s with warmer highs to the east.
