COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A thin layer of frost glistens on lawns and windshields this morning as the first rays of sunlight push across the Front Range. The air feels sharp and still—25 degrees at sunrise—and exhaust plumes hang briefly above driveways before fading into a crystal-clear sky.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, this morning’s freeze will give way to calmer, warmer air by midmorning as sunshine spreads south along I-25. Highs will rebound into the mid-50s today before a steady warm-up brings more comfortable afternoons into Halloween Friday. Winds stay light, though a few passing clouds could clip El Paso and Pueblo Counties late Friday.
Residents across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Monument should continue protecting outdoor plants, hoses, and vehicles during early morning hours, with lows still near freezing through Friday. By Halloween evening, conditions turn ideal for trick-or-treaters—clear skies, light winds, and temperatures holding around 50° at dusk. Roads remain dry for drivers heading to community events and school celebrations.
The warm trend continues into the weekend, with highs near 70° by Sunday before the next cool push slides in early next week. Models hint at a weak cold front by Tuesday, bringing breezy conditions and a possible dip back into the 50s—a modest reminder that winter’s edge is edging closer across the Rockies.
To be fair, southern Colorado has lucked out with a gentle Halloween stretch, but November’s early patterns suggest cooler, possibly wetter weather just beyond the horizon. After all, clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Sunday, giving residents an extra hour to enjoy that crisp, late-fall morning air.
