Colorado Springs Faces Midweek Snowstorm! Slippery Roads and Strong Winds Could Cause Chaos

Colorado Springs Faces Midweek Snowstorm! Slippery Roads and Strong Winds Could Cause Chaos

Colorado Springs residents, get ready for a blast of winter weather! A storm system moving in Wednesday will bring snow showers, gusty winds up to 35 MPH, and dangerously slick roads. The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, warning that travel could become treacherous, especially during the morning and evening commutes. If you have plans, expect delays and changing road conditions!

Forecasters predict snow showers developing Wednesday afternoon, with highs around 38°F (3°C). Light accumulations are expected, but by Wednesday night, snowfall could intensify, bringing 1 to 2 inches of accumulation and lows near 21°F (-6°C). On Thursday, snow will taper off, but strong winds up to 35 MPH will create blowing snow and bitterly cold conditions.

How to Prepare for the Snow and Wind:

  • Drive with caution! Roads could be slick and visibility may be reduced.
  • Bundle up! Wind chills will make it feel even colder than the forecasted temperatures.
  • Check travel updates before heading out—delays and closures are possible.
  • Secure outdoor items—strong winds could blow around loose objects.

The storm will clear out by Thursday afternoon, with sunny but chilly conditions returning by the weekend. However, residents should stay alert and prepare for winter driving hazards midweek.

Colorado Springs, stay safe, bundle up, and prepare for a wintry blast of snow and wind
