Colorado wakes up under a biting February chill, with temperatures near 25 degrees across Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The air feels dry and sharp, and wind chills dip into the teens. Roads remain mainly dry early, but mountain conditions are already changing.
Skies turn partly sunny later today, pushing highs toward 58 degrees along the I-25 corridor. That brief warmup may melt leftover snow in shaded areas. Watch for patchy refreeze late tonight as readings fall back near freezing.
Snow showers begin spreading into the Continental Divide and central mountains as the day progresses. Any early accumulation stays light and spotty. Higher elevations above 7,000 feet could pick up several inches through early Thursday, especially along the Sangre de Cristo and eastern San Juan ranges.
By Thursday afternoon, a 20 percent chance of showers develops across Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Rain remains light at lower elevations, while snow stays confined to the mountains.
Friday brings a stronger push of moisture. Shower chances climb to 40 percent, mainly after late morning, with highs near 52 degrees. Light precipitation amounts are expected in town, but mountain snow continues. If you’re traveling west on Highway 50 or along I-25 toward Monument Hill, check conditions before heading out.
Saturday features a slight rain and snow mix early, then improving skies and a high near 55 degrees. Valentine’s Weekend looks milder but unsettled at times.
Early next week trends warmer, with highs pushing near 80 degrees by Washington’s Birthday in Pueblo. Longer-range signals suggest above-normal temperatures settling in across much of the central U.S.
