Colorado — Temperatures seesaw across southern Colorado today, delivering a brief pause from colder air before another sharp cooldown targets the region by the weekend. In Pueblo, conditions stay slightly cooler today with isolated snow showers possible across the southeastern plains, mainly during the morning hours.
Highs today reach the upper 40s to near 50 degrees, a few degrees below recent readings. Any snow showers remain spotty and light, but brief reductions in visibility are possible in open areas early. Roads should remain mostly wet, though drivers should stay alert for brief slick spots where snow mixes in.
Thursday brings a noticeable warm-up. Temperatures rebound into the upper 50s and lower 60s, offering the mildest conditions of the stretch. Sunshine and lighter winds allow for improved travel and outdoor conditions, but the warmth is short-lived.
By Friday, a stronger cold front pushes through southern Colorado, reversing the trend. Highs fall back into the 40s, with colder air deepening into Saturday. Overnight lows dip into the teens and 20s, especially in lower elevations around Pueblo, reinforcing winterlike mornings.
While widespread snow is not expected with this system, colder temperatures return quickly, and any lingering moisture could feel biting in the early hours. Gusty conditions may also accompany the front, adding an extra chill during the transition.
Residents should plan for rapid temperature changes when heading out later this week. Layering will be key, especially for early mornings and evenings as colder air settles back in.
