Colorado Springs, Colo. – Thunderstorms could disrupt Thursday evening plans in Colorado Springs as unstable September weather builds across southern Colorado. Drivers along I-25 should prepare for slick stretches and slower commutes late Thursday night into Friday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, a 20 percent chance of showers develops after midnight, with stronger storm activity possible Friday afternoon. Southwest winds gusting up to 15 mph may add to visibility concerns on rural highways.
Friday’s storms carry the potential to impact football games and other outdoor events across El Paso County. Rainfall totals should remain under a tenth of an inch, but downpours in stronger cells could briefly soak fields and delay games. Saturday brings another round of scattered storms, though calmer winds and fall-like highs in the mid-70s will dominate during the day.
Residents should charge devices, secure outdoor items, and avoid unnecessary travel during storm windows. Those headed into the mountains west of Colorado Springs should watch for lightning and rapidly changing weather conditions.
Sunday continues the unsettled stretch, with showers possible before midnight. By early next week, drier and sunnier weather gradually returns, bringing near-80-degree highs by Monday afternoon.
Warnings remain possible if storm coverage increases, especially during peak weekend events. Updates will be issued as new advisories develop.
