Pueblo, Colorado – Temperatures across southern and central Colorado are expected to fluctuate around seasonal levels through the workweek before trending warmer heading into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.
Forecasters say a series of weak weather disturbances will cause temperatures to ebb and flow through Friday, with no major storms expected for most lower-elevation communities. Daytime highs across the eastern plains, including Pueblo and Colorado Springs, are forecast to range from the 40s to near 50 degrees, while overnight lows dip into the teens and 20s.
According to the National Weather Service, dry conditions will dominate much of the region through the end of the week. However, brief periods of light snow showers are possible for the central mountains, particularly Wednesday through Friday. These snow showers are expected to be minor, with limited accumulation, but could briefly affect travel over higher-elevation routes.
Motorists traveling along I-25, US-50, and US-287 should be prepared for changing temperatures, especially during early morning hours when colder conditions could lead to icy patches in shaded or elevated areas. Mountain travel routes may see occasional slick conditions during snow showers, though widespread impacts are not anticipated.
By the weekend, a warming trend is expected to become more noticeable across much of the region. High temperatures are forecast to rise closer to or slightly above seasonal averages, particularly across the plains and lower valleys. This warming should help improve travel conditions and reduce lingering cold-related concerns.
For commuters, students, and outdoor workers, the relatively quiet weather pattern offers a break following recent periods of more impactful winter weather. Still, officials encourage residents to monitor daily forecasts, as temperature swings can occur quickly during late January.
Overall, the National Weather Service expects a calm stretch of winter weather, with dry conditions prevailing for most communities and only limited mountain snow chances before warmer temperatures arrive this weekend.
