Colorado wakes to crisp air stretching across the Front Range.
Cold settles in early, with temperatures near 31 degrees across Colorado Springs. Frost coats windshields, and shaded sidewalks feel slick. Roads along I-25, Highway 24, and Academy Boulevard remain dry, but bridges cool faster than pavement.
Sunlight changes the feel quickly. Skies stay mostly clear, allowing temperatures to climb into the low 60s by afternoon. The contrast is sharp. Heavy coats disappear by midday as February sunshine takes control.
Tonight turns calm and cold again. Clear skies allow temperatures to fall back near 31 degrees, creating another refreeze window. Any melted moisture may harden quickly after sunset. Plan extra caution if driving late.
Saturday continues the warming trend. Highs reach the mid-60s, well above seasonal averages. Winds stay light, and travel conditions remain smooth across El Paso County. Outdoor plans benefit from the steady warmth.
Sunday brings another mild day. Afternoon highs approach 61 degrees, with sunshine dominating most neighborhoods. Winter feels distant, at least for now.
Early next week stays warm. Monday climbs near 65 degrees, reinforcing the pattern. However, conditions shift by Tuesday. Rain and snow showers become possible late morning into the afternoon. Precipitation looks light, but timing matters for commuters. Brief slick spots may develop as temperatures hover near freezing during the evening.
By midweek, unsettled weather lingers with additional rain and snow chances. Accumulations appear limited, but repeated cycles increase the risk of refreeze overnight.
Looking ahead to the 6–10 day outlook, temperatures trend above normal across eastern Colorado. Signs of spring emerge, even as winter reminds drivers to stay alert.
Keep layers handy. Expect icy mornings, warm afternoons, and changing conditions after dark.
