COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The chill bites early, breath clouds forming in the predawn light over the Front Range. A thin frost coats rooftops and windshields across the plains, shimmering briefly before the sun edges above Pikes Peak. It’s a cold, calm start to the second weekend of November—classic late-fall weather that hints at the winter ahead.
The National Weather Service in Pueblo reports mostly sunny skies through the weekend, but temperatures will dip sharply at night. Lows in the low 30s Friday and near 21°F by Saturday night will bring another round of frost and possible freeze conditions across El Paso and Fremont counties. Highs stay in the lower 60s Friday before falling to the mid-50s Saturday, then recover slightly to the mid-40s on Sunday.
Wind speeds remain light, but brief gusts up to 20 mph could stir dust along the I-25 corridor Saturday afternoon. With relative humidity near 20%, the agency is urging residents in southern counties to avoid outdoor burning or sparks from machinery that could trigger grass fires.
The early cold is temporary. By Monday, warmer air from the south pushes daytime highs back toward 67°F, setting up a bright and mild Veterans Day across the Front Range. Sunshine dominates through midweek, with highs approaching 70°F Wednesday before another cold front hints at a return to chillier air late in the week.
For now, Colorado’s weather remains steady—frost at dawn, clear skies by day, and that familiar November mix of sunshine and cold breath in the air. It’s a fine time for mountain drives or final leaf cleanups before winter’s true arrival later this month.
