COLORADO SPRINGS: High: 87; Low: 56. Sunny to start with clouds in the afternoon and scattered afternoon thunderstorms, especially in north and eastern El Paso County. One or two could come out of the mountains through Colorado Springs, but no severe weather is expected. A few strong downdrafts are going to be possible.
PUEBLO: High: 93; Low: 57. Very hot today with sunny skies turning cloudy in the afternoon. We will be breezy in the afternoon with dry skies as any storms should stay far west over the mountains.
CANON CITY: High: 91; Low: 56. Very hot with increased cloud cover in the afternoon and one or two isolated storms possible. The best storm chances will remain over the mountains outside of town, but a few strong downdrafts cloud blow through any nearby mountain town, including Canon City.
