Pueblo, CO – Colorado residents can expect one last burst of summer heat Friday before cooler weather and scattered thunderstorms arrive over the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, temperatures will run above normal Friday, with highs ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s across much of southern and central Colorado. Conditions will remain dry during the day, but changes are on the way starting Saturday.
Forecasters said clouds will increase Friday night into the weekend, bringing cooler temperatures statewide. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop over the mountains from Saturday through Monday, with isolated storms potentially spreading east into portions of the I-25 corridor, including Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Trinidad.
By Sunday, highs are forecast to dip into the upper 60s and low 70s in cities such as Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Mountain communities, including Leadville and Alamosa, may only reach the 50s and 60s, with higher rain chances.
The weather service noted that unsettled conditions could linger into early next week, especially for mountain areas. Drivers along I-25 should remain alert for sudden downpours and changing conditions.
This transition marks the start of a cooler, wetter pattern heading into October, with the chance for more widespread precipitation early next week.
