A Red Flag Warning is active for Colorado Springs and portions of the High Country right now, and that's the single most important thing to understand about today before you walk out the door. The warning runs from eleven AM through seven PM, covering the window when conditions are most dangerous.
Now, the warmth itself. Temperatures today are climbing well into the eighties, with some spots in Southern Colorado pushing into the nineties.
The important distinction today is the afternoon turn. Warm air and moisture interacting by early-to-mid afternoon means showers and thunderstorms are likely.
Let's get specific about what to actually wear. Start light.
For the commute, the afternoon is the pressure point. Wind gusts and storm activity may overlap with the post-work drive.
The one or two things worth locking in from today: the fire warning is real and specific, not precautionary noise. Respect it.
