Colorado wakes to muted light and dry ground for now, but winter waits just beyond the horizon. Clouds drift over the Front Range as winds whisper across open fields, signaling a pattern change that could disrupt holiday travel.

According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, snow redevelops across southern Colorado late today and into Sunday. Higher elevations see the earliest impacts, but snow showers spread toward the I-25 corridor by Sunday morning. Colorado Springs carries a 70 percent chance of snow, with highs near 33 and light accumulation possible.

Pueblo stays slightly warmer, but rain may flip to snow as colder air settles in. Daytime highs fall into the low 40s Sunday, with nighttime lows dropping into the teens. Any lingering moisture could refreeze after dark, creating slick stretches on bridges and elevated roads.

Mountain travel faces greater concerns. Gusty winds combine with falling snow to reduce visibility over passes, including areas near Wolf Creek Pass. Blowing and drifting snow may slow travel for those returning from holiday trips.

Drivers along I-25 between Pueblo and Colorado Springs should plan extra time Sunday. Even light snowfall can create sudden slowdowns, especially near on-ramps and shaded areas. Conditions may deteriorate quickly during heavier bursts.

By Monday, skies clear and sunshine returns, though the cold lingers. Highs recover into the low 40s, while overnight lows remain near 20. The calmer stretch continues into Tuesday, offering improved travel conditions across the region.

Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve, temperatures trend milder with mostly sunny skies expected. No major storms appear imminent, but winter remains firmly in control as 2026 approaches.

If you’re traveling early Sunday or late at night, slow down and watch for icy patches. How much snow are you seeing where you live?
