Pueblo, CO – Southern Colorado is experiencing near-record warmth today, with temperatures running 12 to 18 degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Pueblo. The unusually warm pattern will continue through Saturday before a major shift in the weather arrives late in the weekend.
According to NWS forecasters, today’s highs range from the upper 60s to mid-70s across much of the region, with the warmest readings expected along the plains. Pueblo is approaching a standing record high of 81 degrees, originally set in 1999. Colorado Springs and Alamosa may also come close to record territory.
Warm, dry conditions persist Friday and Saturday with passing high clouds and continued above-average temperatures. Many areas east of the mountains will remain 15 degrees or more above typical mid-November levels, offering a stretch of pleasant but unseasonably warm weather.
A pattern change arrives Sunday, bringing noticeably cooler temperatures and increasing chances for rain and snow—especially across the mountains and high country. Forecasters say precipitation chances will continue into early next week as colder air settles over the region.
Highs Sunday will fall back toward seasonal norms, and some mountain communities could see accumulating snowfall depending on how the system develops. Plains areas, including Pueblo and Colorado Springs, may see light rain or a rain–snow mix depending on timing and elevation.
NWS expects near- to below-normal temperatures to remain in place into early next week following the frontal passage.
Residents planning outdoor activities are encouraged to take advantage of today’s and Saturday’s warmth before more winter-like conditions return Sunday.
