Overview

  • Widespread monsoon moisture and upper-level energy are fueling slow-moving thunderstorms across southern Colorado and the Denver metro for a second consecutive day.
  • The Weather Prediction Center maintains a marginal 1-in-4 flash flood risk for Colorado Springs as localized downpours threaten rapid runoff.
  • Eastern Plains residents face a Level 1-Marginal severe risk with isolated storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts and large hail.
  • Forecasters call for highs near 82°F on Wednesday and Thursday with an 80% chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms across the region.
  • By Friday, shifting pressure systems will draw in drier air and cut storm coverage to isolated-scattered, setting up a hot, sunny weekend.
