Dry air, wind gusts reaching forty miles per hour, and temperatures pushing into the mid-to-upper eighties create prime fire weather conditions across the Pikes Peak region. Avoid any outdoor burning and treat ignition sources seriously if you're near open land or dry brush.Temperatures today are unseasonably warm for mid-May — well into the eighties across Colorado Springs and touching the low nineties in parts of Southern Colorado. Mornings feel summer-like and comfortable in a t-shirt, but don't mistake the warmth for a calm or settled day.The defining feature of the afternoon is a likely shift to showers and thunderstorms, possibly strong, developing by early-to-mid afternoon. Front-load any outdoor plans and aim to be under cover by 2 PM. Check radar before heading out — these storms are not a minor background chance.For your commute, the afternoon drive overlaps with peak storm and wind activity. Build in extra time and stay cautious on elevated or exposed roads. Tonight, conditions ease with southeast winds at five to ten miles per hour, partly to mostly cloudy skies, and possible lingering showers as humidity slowly recovers.Dress in layers today: light and breathable in the morning, with a rain layer or packable jacket for anything after midday. Storms can drop temperatures quickly here, so plan for the full range rather than just the afternoon high.This podcast was built using AI technology.
