Highs on Wednesday will be sightly cooler, but still hovering around the 70 degree mark in Colorado Springs. Temperatures will rebound into the middle 70s on Thursday, with wind gusts up around 25 mph, making for a breezy afternoon. A cold front Thursday afternoon will drop highs down to the 60s on Friday in most areas, with highs warming back up into the upcoming weekend.
Although more than a week out, longer range models hint at a pattern change next week, with cooler temperatures and the possibility of precipitation towards the middle to end of next week, which could impact Halloween here in Southern Colorado. Stay tuned...
