Colorado Springs weather: Record-breaking temps give way to strong cold front
A cold front is expected to bring some relief to Colorado Springs residents Wednesday following a day of record-breaking heat, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.
Tuesday hit a temperature peak at 91 degrees around noon, breaking the city’s previous record for Sept. 20 of 90, last set in 2016, the service said. A steep temperature drop is expected Wednesday with a breezy high near 64.
Heavy rainfall is forecast for the central and southwest mountains, and while the NWS’s flood watch does not extend east into Teller or El Paso counties, the service said it is “closely monitoring” the Pikes Peak region, including Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, for heavy rains.
Showers are likely in the city and a thunderstorm is possible after 3 p.m.
