DISCUSSION
WEATHER WILL BE A BIT LESS ACTIVE ON THURSDAY, THOUGH SOME AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. LATEST DATA SHOWS
ISOLATED SHOWERS, WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MIXED IN, FORMING OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AROUND 1-2PM OR SO. THESE STORMS WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON, DEPARTING THE AREA BY ABOUT
8PM. THAT BEING SAID, GENERAL CONFIDENCE IN STORM COVERAGE IS LOW,
WITH ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS EXPECTED OVER THE PIKES PEAK AREA. IF A
SHOWER OR STORM MOVES OVER THE RAINBOW GULCH AREA, IT WOULD MOVE OFF
TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST RELATIVELY QUICKLY. CURRENT CHANCES FOR ANY
PRECIPITATION TOMORROW IS ABOUT 20%, WITH THE BEST CHANCES DURING
THE MID-AFTERNOON HOURS. IF ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS MANAGE TO PASS
OVERHEAD, BRIEF LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAINFALL, GUSTY
OUTFLOW WINDS AROUND 30 MPH, AND LIGHTNING WOULD BE THE MAIN RISKS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE MID-70S HIGHER UP INTO TELLER
COUNTY, AND IN THE MID-80S CLOSER TO COLORADO SPRINGS. RH WILL DROP
TO BETWEEN 15-20% IN THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE BELOW 10 MPH AND
SOMEWHAT VARIABLE FOR MOST OF THE DAY, BUT AGAIN ANY PASSING SHOWERS
WILL KICK UP GUSTY, MORE ERRATIC WINDS. MOVING INTO THE EVENING,
CONDITIONS WILL BE CALM ONCE SHOWERS HAVE MOVED ON, WITH OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE 40S-50S, AND RH RECOVERY TO AROUND 45 PERCENT.
FRIDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO THURSDAY, IF A FEW DEGREES WARMER. A WEAK
COOL FRONT WILL MOVE IN VERY EARLY IN THE DAY, AND IS CURRENTLY
EXPECTED TO HIT THE TOP OF THE PALMER SOME TIME BETWEEN 3AM-6AM.
WINDS WILL TURN OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHWEST, TURNING EASTERLY ONCE
THE FRONT IS THROUGH BY MIDDAY. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
WILL BE A BIT LOWER THAN ON THURSDAY, WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS IN
THE AFTERNOON. RH WILL ONCE AGAIN DROP TO BETWEEN 15-20% IN THE
AFTERNOON, WITH SKIES BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY.
