Much Cooler Air Is Moving In!
Forecast 17 June, 2024
Today: A cold front is moving across southern Colorado this morning that will cool temperatures slightly today. Highs will still get into the upper 70s and 80s for the lower elevations, with breezy winds expected as the front slides overhead. This front will stall out across southeastern Colorado this afternoon, which may serve as a boundary for scattered thunderstorm development later today... but most are expected to stay dry. Lows tonight will be in the 50s and 60s, making for a cooler night and a crisp start to Wednesday.
Wednesday: If you're tired of the heat, this is the day you've been waiting for! High temperatures fall back into the 60s and 70s for most in Southern Colorado! It will feel noticeably cooler, and winds between 10 and 20 mph may make it feel even cooler. We'll have more moisture to work with and a bit more energy in the atmosphere which will set the stage for a stormier afternoon. Storms look to develop over the high country first, before sliding across the I25 corridor by early afternoon. Storms will likely linger across the Eastern Plains through about midnight before everything moves east of the Colorado-Kansas state line.
Thursday: The cool air won't last... but the storm chances will! We will have partly cloudy skies and a better chance for an afternoon and evening showers and possibly a few scattered thunderstorms Thursday afternoon. Highs on Thursday will be in the 80s and 90s once again.
