Colorado Springs, Colo. – Thunderstorms, gusty winds and the threat of lightning could impact parts of central and southern Colorado each afternoon through Saturday, with conditions especially active across higher elevations and adjacent foothills.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, a broad hazardous weather outlook has been issued for areas above 7,500 feet including the Mosquito Range, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, San Juan Mountains, and the Wet Mountains. Showers and storms are expected to form each afternoon and evening, with the greatest hazards being small hail, strong outflow winds, and frequent lightning.
