COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A cold stillness settles over the Front Range this early Wednesday, the air clear and dry under starlight as temperatures hover near 40 degrees. The calm won’t last long — a run of sunny, breezy days and cold nights will continue through the end of the week before a stronger chill moves in by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, Wednesday brings sunshine and light winds, with highs in the lower 60s. By Thursday, a brief warmup into the 70s will give way to another cold push, dropping lows to the mid-30s by Friday morning. Winds may gust up to 15 mph at times, especially across open plains and along I-25 between Monument Hill and Fountain, where crosswinds could briefly affect high-profile vehicles.
Despite the daily warmth, frost potential will return by early Friday, particularly in rural valleys and shaded areas west of the city. Residents should protect plants and bring pets inside at night as temperatures dip close to freezing.
Heading into the weekend, expect highs to settle back in the 50s with clear skies and calm conditions — classic late-fall weather ideal for outdoor cleanup or early holiday decorating. Looking beyond, long-range models hint at a more pronounced cold snap around Veterans Day, possibly followed by light mountain snow across the Continental Divide.
For now, Colorado Springs sits in the dry, sunny sweet spot — crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and the subtle feeling that winter’s first breath is just over the ridge.
