Colorado – Cold air settles into the Arkansas River Valley as clouds drift over Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Breath hangs in the air this morning, and windshields stay frosty before the sun gains strength.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures sit near 36 degrees early, then climb steadily through the day. Sunshine dominates, pushing highs close to 49 degrees. Roads along I-25 remain dry, though early commuters may still encounter slick patches in shaded areas.
The warming trend strengthens midweek. Wednesday brings brighter skies and a noticeable temperature jump. Highs reach the low 60s, offering a brief spring tease across southern Colorado. Winds stay light, and travel conditions remain quiet through most of the day.
Changes arrive Thursday. Clouds thicken by late morning, and scattered showers develop after midday. Highs near 60 degrees support mostly rain in Pueblo, though higher elevations west of town may see brief mixed precipitation. Roads could turn damp during the afternoon and evening commute.
Thursday night stays unsettled. Shower chances continue, with temperatures dropping into the upper 20s. Any lingering moisture may refreeze on untreated roads before sunrise. Use caution on bridges and ramps.
Friday carries the highest impact. Showers become likely, with precipitation chances near 60 percent by afternoon. Highs fall back to around 49 degrees, and cooler air increases the risk of slick spots late in the day. Drivers should plan extra time, especially along I-25 and Highway 50.
Conditions improve heading into Valentine’s Day weekend. Saturday turns sunny with highs in the mid-50s, and Sunday stays mild near 59 degrees. Nights remain cold, keeping freeze-thaw concerns in play.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Colorado into early next week. Signs of a late-winter thaw are building, even as brief systems still pass through.
