Colorado – Cold air settles across southern Colorado this morning, and the mountains still hold onto lingering snow. Pavement shines in spots under streetlights, a sign that winter has not fully loosened its grip yet.
Early conditions remain chilly from Pueblo to Colorado Springs, with temperatures near 30 degrees and light northwest winds. According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, any lingering snowfall ends by mid-morning. Roads may stay wet and locally slick for several hours, especially on bridges and shaded stretches.
Across Colorado Springs, Monument Hill, and nearby foothills, drivers should use caution early. Even thin moisture can refreeze quickly this time of year. Conditions improve through late morning as sunshine strengthens and temperatures climb into the upper 40s. Travel impacts ease steadily along I-25 by midday.
Tonight turns mostly clear and cold again. Lows drop back near 30, setting up another round of potential refreezing before sunrise. Plan extra time for the Thursday morning commute, particularly in lower-lying valleys and near overpasses.
Thursday marks a clear shift. Sunshine dominates, and highs jump into the upper 50s to near 60 across much of southern Colorado. Snowmelt accelerates during the afternoon, and roads stay dry for most drivers. By Friday, the warm-up becomes more noticeable, with highs climbing into the low 60s under calm winds.
The weekend stays mild and quiet. Saturday and Sunday both trend mostly sunny, with highs in the low to mid-60s. Isolated light snow showers remain possible in the higher mountains Saturday, but valley locations stay dry.
Looking ahead, precipitation chances increase again early next week, with rain and snow returning by Tuesday. Beyond that, longer-range signals suggest above-normal temperatures late next week. Are roads slick where you are this morning?
