Extended outlook forecast:
Temperatures will be climbing this week, peaking on Thursday. Right now my forecast high for Colorado Springs is 80 on Thursday, which would smash the previous record high of 76 in 1988. My forecast for Pueblo on Thursday is 86 which would break the record high of 85 also set in 1988.
The next change comes this weekend with a storm system that will take temperatures back to seasonable 50s and 60s by Sunday. We will likely see gusty wind with this storm and a wintry mix of precipitation. Precipitation type will greatly depend on the time of day it falls, which is uncertain at this time. Stay tuned!
