A fun thing about forecasting in the foothills of the Rockies is that it’s tough to say with certainty exactly how your forecast is going to be off. You know that something will go sideways, but what, exactly? In the instance of Colorado Springs, it was our forecast lows on both Saturday and Sunday. We all saw clear overnight skies, which should have meant chilly morning lows. Alas, it was not to be. There were favorable winds for warming up the region, especially some howling southerlies on Sunday, and the cool temperature ended up a full 10 degrees warmer than most forecasts. Colorado springs embarrassed most outlets, but The Weather Channel held on for a W.
