The worst of the storm will be overnight tonight through at least late morning Tuesday. Snow totals in the Pikes Peak Region are expected to range between 2-5". Higher amounts will be possible with heavier bands of snow during the storm. These are tough to pinpoint, but could focus in southern El Paso County, Pueblo County and Fremont County. Our high Tuesday will only warm into the lower 20s in Colorado Springs.
We'll be dry and mostly sunny by Wednesday, with a high in the lower to middle 30s. Our next incoming storm Thursday will bring wind gusts to 30 mph, but nothing too significant snow wise. We may see a few flurries, but accumulations are not likely here in Colorado Springs.
