A severe thunderstorm threat is the headline for Colorado Springs today, and if you've got anything planned outside this afternoon, you need to hear this first. The main window for severe weather opens after three p.m. and runs through the evening.
Here's what's driving this. The high today is forecast near eighty-four degrees, which matches the daily record for May thirteenth in Colorado Springs.
The transition into severe weather has a fairly defined window. Isolated showers are possible between one p.m. and three p.m., but the more serious storm threat develops after three.
Layers are the right call today. Start with something light for the morning heat as temperatures climb toward eighty-four.
A few things remain unresolved. The exact onset of severe weather after three p.m. isn't pinned down precisely, so don't assume you have until four or five before it gets serious.
Keep an eye on conditions from midday onward. Morning outdoor plans are fine.
