Wednesday Forecast:
Wednesday will be another rinse-and-repeat weather day with sunshine and heat. The temperatures will be about 5-10 degrees above average. And there will be a few afternoon clouds across the region, with a few spotty showers in the mountains.

Colorado Springs forecast: Low: 61; High: 91;

Walsenburg and Trinidad forecast: Low: 62/61; High: 92/89;

Mountains forecast: Low: 50s; High: 80s;
Partly cloudy with spotty afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday with highs in the low to upper 80s.

Extended outlook forecast:
Thursday will bring more numerous showers and thunderstorms to the mountains, with a few of them making it to I-25. The day will still be warm and above average.

Then a drastic shift in our weather pattern comes on Friday. A cold front from the north will pair with tropical moisture from the Gulf and lead to widespread showers and thunderstorms, with a threat of heavy rain leading to flash flooding on both Friday and Saturday.

The afternoon and evening storms continue on Sunday and Monday, but Colorado will gradually dry out into early next week.
