Colorado – Cold air grips southern Colorado early this morning as Pueblo wakes up near 20 degrees. Frost coats windshields, and the Arkansas River Valley feels locked in winter before sunrise. The chill won’t last all day.
According to the National Weather Service, clear skies allow temperatures to rebound steadily through the morning. Pueblo climbs into the upper 40s by afternoon with light winds. Travel along I-25 and Highway 50 remains smooth, though bridges and shaded roads may feel slick early.
The warming trend strengthens into the weekend. Saturday turns bright and dry with highs near 52. Sunshine dominates, and winds stay manageable, making outdoor errands and travel easier than recent mornings. Overnight lows still dip into the mid-20s, keeping freeze concerns in place after sunset.
Sunday delivers the biggest change. Afternoon temperatures surge to near 59 under sunny skies, pushing well above late-January norms. Snowmelt during the day followed by refreezing at night may create slick spots after dark, especially on secondary roads and parking lots.
By Monday, mild weather continues. Highs reach the low 60s with partly sunny skies, offering one of the warmest stretches so far this winter. Conditions remain dry, and no widespread travel issues are expected across Pueblo County.
A slight shift arrives early next week. According to the National Weather Service, a weak disturbance may bring a small chance for snow showers by Tuesday, mainly before midday. Accumulation looks limited, but temperatures fall back into the upper 40s, reminding residents winter isn’t finished.
This quiet but dynamic pattern stands in contrast to dangerous Arctic cold impacting much of the Midwest and East. For now, southern Colorado stays on the warmer edge of the national setup.
Drivers should prepare for cold mornings, daytime melting, and refreezing after sunset.
