Residents in Colorado Springs will face hazy skies and reduced visibility this morning, particularly near I-25, before clearer weather arrives by the afternoon. Drivers are urged to be cautious, especially during peak travel times, as the haze may impact air quality and limit visibility through early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread haze will remain until at least 11 a.m., with the possibility of returning around 5 p.m. as skies clear slightly. North-northwest winds of around 5 mph will keep conditions relatively mild, but the presence of haze can cause sudden changes in visibility, making it important for drivers to slow down and keep extra distance between vehicles.
Looking ahead, the haze will give way to mostly clear skies tonight, with temperatures dipping to a cool 48°F. The following days will bring sunny and pleasant conditions, with highs reaching the low 80s on Thursday and Friday. Winds from the south-southeast will pick up slightly in the afternoons, keeping the weather mild and dry.
Saturday promises more sunny skies, with a high of 83°F, ideal for outdoor activities. However, Sunday will cool down slightly, with highs around 72°F. As we move into next week, Monday brings another drop in temperature, with highs near 66°F for Columbus Day.
