COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A sharp fall transition is sweeping across southern and central Colorado, bringing gusty winds, a risk of frost, and cooler temperatures as the weekend approaches. Following a few strong storms earlier in the week, a cold front will clear the region, setting up a crisp, sunny stretch that feels like classic mid-October.
The National Weather Service in Pueblo warns that frost and even light freeze conditions could develop Saturday and Sunday mornings, especially along the I-25 corridor and across the southeast plains. Drivers and homeowners should plan ahead—protect sensitive plants, unhook outdoor hoses, and watch for early morning frost slicks on bridges.
Thursday brings mostly sunny skies with a high near 70°F across Colorado Springs. By Friday, winds turn northwesterly as highs dip to the mid-60s, and cooler air settles into the region. Sunshine dominates both Saturday and Sunday, with highs climbing from the mid-60s to the low 70s under blue skies and calm winds—perfect for pumpkin patches, fall hikes, or a weekend drive through Garden of the Gods.
The next chance of precipitation doesn’t arrive until mid-next week when light mountain showers could develop. Until then, expect a string of bright, dry days with chilly mornings and warm afternoons—a golden window for outdoor plans before colder late-October air returns.
