Extended outlook forecast:
Thursday will be a day of strong wind, rain, and snow!
A winter system will spin across the region through the day Thursday, bringing 30 to 40 mph wind gusts out of the north across the plains. Rain and snow showers are expected during the daytime with the heaviest snow in the mountains and valleys. North winds will likely rob Colorado Springs and Pueblo of snowfall accumulation, but there could still be flakes or showers in both cities.
Friday will be dry with a hard freeze in the morning. We'll stay dry and beautiful through the weekend with plenty of dry weather!
