Colorado — Sharp cold greets southern Colorado this morning. Streetlights glow over dry pavement, but the air bites hard, with temperatures near 21 degrees around Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Calm conditions make the cold feel heavier, and winter’s next move is already forming.
Sunshine dominates today. Clear skies allow a quick warm-up, with highs near 50 degrees by afternoon. It feels comfortable in the sun, though shade stays icy. Roads remain dry, and travel stays smooth through daylight hours.
Clouds return tonight, pulling temperatures back into the teens. Thursday stays mostly sunny, though slightly cooler. Highs top out near 46 degrees, and winds stay light. For now, winter behaves quietly, but that window narrows fast.
By Friday, snow chances rise across the region. Light snow showers may develop, especially by late afternoon. Highs struggle near 23 degrees, keeping surfaces cold enough for accumulation. Conditions deteriorate quickly after sunset as snow becomes more likely.
Friday night brings the biggest concern. Snow showers are likely, with lows dropping near 3 degrees. Any melting during daylight refreezes fast. Flash freezing becomes a real hazard on untreated roads, bridges, and sidewalks.
Saturday stays wintry. Snow showers linger, mainly before midday, with highs holding near 23 degrees. Visibility may drop briefly during heavier bursts. Drivers along I-25 should plan extra time and watch for slick stretches.
Saturday night turns bitter again, with lows near 5 degrees. A few lingering snow showers fade, but icy patches remain into early Sunday. Sunshine returns Sunday, pushing highs back toward the mid-30s, though cold ground keeps conditions slick in spots.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook shows Colorado trending near to slightly above normal for temperatures, offering gradual improvement next week.
