Pueblo, CO — Southern Colorado is heading into a much colder stretch of weather this weekend as a front pushes in from the north, bringing gusty winds and sharply lower temperatures. The National Weather Service in Pueblo reports that the front arrived early Saturday morning and will keep conditions brisk and cold through Sunday.
High temperatures today will struggle to reach the 30s and 40s across many areas, with colder readings expected in the mountains and along the Palmer Divide. Breezy north winds will make temperatures feel even colder, especially during the morning and evening hours.
Light snow remains possible this morning in higher terrain zones, including the Palmer Divide and the Raton Mesa region. While accumulations are expected to stay light, quick bursts of flakes may briefly reduce visibility in the mountains and foothills.
Another quick-moving system is forecast to arrive Sunday into Monday, bringing a renewed chance of light snow—mainly for elevated terrain. Forecasters note that while moisture is limited, any snow showers that develop could create slick spots in the high country, especially overnight and during early morning travel.
Temperatures will stay cold through Monday, with highs in the 30s and lower 40s and overnight lows dipping into the teens and 20s across much of the region.
Looking ahead, the weather pattern becomes more uncertain by midweek as another storm system approaches. Confidence remains low regarding its track and impacts, but forecasters will refine the details over the next couple of days.
Drivers traveling through mountain passes or exposed high terrain should monitor updated forecasts and be prepared for reduced visibility and rapidly changing conditions.
