COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Morning light spills across Pikes Peak under a cloudless sky, and the chill in the air fades quickly as the sun climbs. Southern Colorado is off to a golden, dry start this week, with clear skies and warm afternoons stretching through Tuesday before cooler air filters in by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, high pressure dominates the Front Range through Tuesday, keeping the region sunny and mild. Highs will reach near 79°F today and remain in the 70s early in the week, while nights dip into the upper 30s and low 40s. Winds stay light and variable, though a few southwest gusts may develop near the foothills by Monday afternoon.
By Wednesday, a subtle wind shift and a weak front from the north will bring cooler highs in the upper 60s. Conditions stay dry, and no precipitation is expected through at least Thursday. Travel across I-25, U.S. 24, and I-70 should remain smooth under bright skies and good visibility.
Residents can take advantage of this stretch for outdoor work, early holiday decorating, or final fall yard cleanup before temperatures trend lower later in the week. While snow remains confined to the high Rockies, forecasters note that patterns tied to La Niña often bring strong cold fronts to the Plains by mid to late November.
Long-range models hint that southern Colorado could see its first chance for light mountain snow or a sharp temperature drop closer to Thanksgiving. For now, the weather holds steady — warm by day, crisp by night, and unmistakably November along the Front Range.
