Colorado Springs, Colorado – Afternoon thunderstorms could drench Colorado Springs on Tuesday, July 22, triggering localized flooding and potentially snarling traffic along I-25 and Highway 24. Storms are likely after 3 p.m., with gusty winds and brief heavy rain expected to impact outdoor plans and late-day commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorm chances reach 70% Tuesday afternoon and evening, as warm air and monsoon moisture fuel storm development across central Colorado. Rainfall amounts are expected to stay under a quarter-inch, but heavier bursts in isolated thunderstorms could cause quick ponding on roads and limit visibility.
By Wednesday, another round of storms remains possible after 1 p.m., though skies will stay mostly sunny early. Highs near 85°F midweek will give way to slightly cooler nights, dipping into the upper 50s. Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures rebound again, with highs in the low 90s Saturday and Sunday under mostly sunny skies.
Summer safety reminder: Stay weather-aware with alerts enabled on your phone, avoid flood-prone roadways, and delay non-essential travel during storms.
