Colorado Springs, CO – After a crisp fall weekend, a shift toward cooler, cloudier conditions is on the way for southern Colorado. The National Weather Service in Pueblo warns of patchy fog and a few rumbles of thunder developing by early Tuesday, especially near the I-25 corridor between Monument Hill and Pueblo. Drivers should use caution on morning commutes, as limited visibility may cause brief slowdowns on higher-elevation stretches.
According to the National Weather Service Pueblo office, isolated thunderstorms may redevelop over the southeast plains through Tuesday evening, with the main threats being lightning and brief heavy rain. Mountain areas, including Pikes Peak and Teller County, could see spotty showers as moisture increases along the Continental Divide later in the week.
Monday will stay mostly sunny and mild, but clouds will build through Tuesday as a weak system drifts across the region. By midweek, skies will clear again, ushering in a run of classic early-October days—ideal for outdoor events, pumpkin patch visits, and early Halloween decorating.
Travelers heading west on U.S. 50 or north along I-25 should remain alert to changing conditions, especially in fog-prone valleys. Keep headlights on in reduced visibility, and give extra space to other drivers. The pattern turns quieter and warmer by Thursday and Friday, with highs nearing 80°F by late week.
