Colorado Springs, Colorado – Strong summer storms could rattle Colorado Springs by 3 p.m. Tuesday, threatening I-25 travel with hail, wind, and flash flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, a surge of moisture moving north will bring scattered thunderstorms to the southern Front Range and adjacent plains through Tuesday afternoon. Gusts may top 60 mph, and hail up to 1 inch in diameter could fall rapidly. Roads like I-25 and US-24 may experience brief flooding, especially near burn scar regions.
On Wednesday, the storm threat continues, again focusing on the afternoon hours. Localized flash flooding remains a concern, particularly in areas hit by Tuesday’s rain. Lightning and brief torrential rainfall may cause sudden delays or outages. Residents should secure outdoor items, charge mobile devices, and avoid high ground travel during storm windows.
The weather calms down briefly Thursday and Friday, offering a sunny reprieve. However, more storms are expected to return by Saturday evening into Sunday.
Officials urge residents to monitor weather updates closely and consider adjusting commutes or outdoor plans.
