Colorado Springs weather: Dry and hot Wednesday
Colorado Springs is in for hot and dry conditions Wednesday as temperatures shoot back up to the 90s. Colorado Springs is expected to see a hot and dry day, with temperatures expected to reach the 90s and lower 100s. The weather will be quieter as a strong ridge of high pressure moves into Colorado from the desert southwest, causing temperatures to reach around 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. The forecast includes a 10% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a high of 95 degrees expected for Thursday, which would tie the current record set in 2022. Temperatures are expected to cool on Friday as temperatures are expected gradually to cool.

Colorado Springs is in for hot and dry conditions Wednesday as temperatures shoot back up to the 90s.
"After a couple of busy afternoons in southern Colorado, today's weather will be considerably quieter as a strong ridge of high pressure moves into Colorado from the desert southwest. Highs today will be around 10 degrees warmer than yesterday, topping out in the 90s and lower 100s on the Plains," Meteorologist Alan Rose with Gazette news partner KOAA, said.
"Skies will start sunny, but turn partly to mostly cloudy this afternoon as some high based showers and storms blossom over the mountains. As these storms move east into the I-25 corridor, they will encounter drier air and could generate some pretty good gusts of wind in the lower elevations this afternoon," Rose said.
Expect sunny conditions on and a high of 92 degrees. There's a 10% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the early afternoon.
Looking ahead to Wednesday night, expect partly cloudy skies and a low of 60 degrees.
According to Rose, Thursday is projected to be the hottest day of the week with temps expected to reach into the middle 90s.
"This would tie the current record of 95 degrees last set just two years ago in 2022. Pueblo's high on Thursday is also expected to threaten a new daily record high, topping out at 102 degrees," Rose said.
Temps are anticipated to cool on Friday as the potential for showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast.
Thursday: There's a 10% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Expect a high of 95 degrees.
Friday: Showers and thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon. Expect increasing clouds throughout the day and a high of 87 degrees.
Saturday: Expect mostly sunny conditions and a high of 88 degrees.
