GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – A string of clear, calm fall days continues across western Colorado as sunshine dominates the Grand Valley through early next week. Cool mornings near 40°F will quickly give way to crisp, pleasant afternoons in the upper 60s, ideal for outdoor events, pumpkin patches, and scenic drives along I-70.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, stable high pressure will remain in place through Tuesday, bringing light winds and nearly cloudless skies. Each morning will start brisk — great for fall markets and early hikes — before warming rapidly under abundant sun. East and southeast winds will stay under 10 mph, keeping travel smooth for commuters and outdoor enthusiasts across Mesa County.
Monday and Tuesday maintain the same pattern, with highs near 68°F and lows in the low 40s. By midweek, a weak Pacific system may introduce a few clouds and a slight cooling trend, but no rain is expected until late Wednesday or Thursday. That system could bring a few isolated showers to higher terrain east of Grand Junction, though impacts appear minimal.
For now, this quiet stretch delivers classic October comfort — bright days, crisp evenings, and perfect visibility for leaf-peeping drives through Colorado National Monument or along the Gunnison River. Residents should enjoy the calm before late-month weather shifts that may bring stronger winds or early snow to the mountains.
