Cool, Wet Midweek Hits Pikes Peak Region

Overview

• Steady rain moved into the Pikes Peak region Wednesday morning and will shift to scattered afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms that should taper by late evening.
• Temperatures are running about 10–15°F below normal with highs mainly in the 60s on the Plains and much cooler readings in mountain valleys.
• Parts of the southeastern Plains could receive more than 1 inch of rain while the I‑25 corridor is expected to see roughly 0.25–0.75 inch of precipitation.
• Forecasters say overall severe threat is low but localized heavy rain increases the risk of flash flooding and debris flows on recent burn scars and may cause slick, slow travel.
• Drier, warmer air is forecast to return Thursday into the weekend with highs rebounding into the mid‑70s and lower‑80s, though moisture may edge back late this weekend.
