COLORADO SPRINGS — If you plan on heading out to the Western Street Breakfast in downtown Colorado Springs, be aware we’re seeing a cooler start to the morning Wednesday – you may want to grab a light jacket.
Temperatures will warm up through the morning hours, but a bit more slowly than they did yesterday. We’ll get into the 60s by 8:00 a.m and the upper 60s by 10:00 a.m.
