Today’s Forecast:

It will be a gusty day in Southern Colorado, and warmer than Monday. A strong northwesterly jet stream is pulling in plenty of energy for a downslope wind event. Damaging wind gusts are in the cards for the northern and central mountains where High Wind Warnings are in effect until midnight.

In the Pikes Peak Region, wind gusts of 25-35 mph will be possible this afternoon. The Ute Pass, Palmer Divide, Tri-Lakes area, Manitou Springs, Broadmoor, and areas just east of the Rampart Mountains tend to be favored in northwest downslope flow setups for the most consistent gusts. Otherwise, expect skies to be partly cloudy as the jet pulls plentiful moisture with clouds increasing through the day. Highs will be in the 50s and 60s today on the Plains.
