More thunderstorms across the region tonight
Currently: A few thunderstorms have already developed across HWY 50 and the SE plains of Colorado. Expect intensification of thunderstorm cells through the early evening hours with the possibility of a few severe storms developing before 8pm. The strongest storms will produce strong outflow wind gusts and large hail over 1" in diameter. The best bet is that severe weather stays south and east of Colorado Springs tonight, but I cannot completely rule out the chance for a strong thunderstorm breaking out in El Paso County. Gradually these storms will push off to the east overnight with low temperatures down to 46 degrees in Colorado Springs and 51 in Pueblo. It's likely I'll be giving updates on the severe weather through Facebook live tonight, so that'll be the best way to follow the most recent developments.
Monday: Cloudy skies will cap high temperatures about 10 degrees below average for most locations. Showers and thunderstorms will again develop in the higher elevations by early afternoon, then begin marching across the I-25 corridor after 3pm. These storms may produce high rainfall totals, increasing the risk for flash flooding over burn scar areas. High winds and hail are also likely out of the strongest cells, making for another day to stay weather aware.
Extended: Unsettled weather continues across Colorado through the midweek forecast as low pressure is parked over the intermountain west. Some sunshine could return by Thursday morning, but expect the chance for scattered afternoon thunderstorms to continue into next weekend.
