Today’s Forecast:
A strengthening ridge of high pressure over the intermountain west will bring a noticeable warm-up to the Plains this afternoon, with highs on Tuesday as much as 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. In Colorado Springs, our high will climb into the upper 50s, with Pueblo today expected to top out in the lower 60s.
Increasing cirrus clouds towards the afternoon and evening hours should make for a pretty sunset tonight. If you snap any photos, send an email to the First Alert 5 Weather team at weather@koaa.com.
