PUEBLO, Colo. – A frosty dawn grips the Arkansas Valley this Saturday as temperatures hover near freezing, the kind that leaves thin ice on windshields and breath hanging in the air. Yet, by Monday, Pueblo will trade its cold mornings for an unseasonably warm stretch, with highs pushing into the upper 60s before climbing near 75 by Veterans Day.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, the weekend starts clear and calm with steady sunshine each day. Lows remain crisp—mainly in the low 20s and 30s—but the air warms quickly by midday. Southerly breezes build early next week, pulling in drier and warmer air from New Mexico. The result: a late-fall warmup that could have lawns greening again and residents dusting off patio furniture.
Travelers on I-25 and U.S. 50 will enjoy smooth, dry conditions through Tuesday, ideal for early holiday errands or Veterans Day ceremonies. However, forecasters are already tracking signs of a cooler pattern brewing over the northern Rockies by midweek. That system could bring a quick temperature drop and light snow to higher elevations late next week—an early hint of winter’s next push toward southern Colorado.
Residents should enjoy the brief warmth while keeping an eye on the developing shift. Mid-November often brings the season’s first true cold snap across the Front Range, and models suggest that transition could arrive before the following weekend. For now, clear skies, mild afternoons, and cold dawns define this tranquil stretch of fall before winter’s next knock.
