Colorado wakes up crisp and quiet across Colorado Springs, with 38° on the thermometer and pale sunrise light over Pikes Peak. The calm won’t last.
Showers develop this afternoon, mainly after 3 p.m. Highs reach 56°, but clouds thicken quickly. Rain is expected first, then a transition toward a rain/snow mix tonight. Roads along I-25 and Highway 24 could turn wet late in the day.
By late evening, rain likely mixes with snow before tapering after midnight. Little accumulation is expected in town, but temperatures fall to 32°. Any leftover moisture could refreeze toward early morning. Watch for patchy slick spots on bridges and elevated roads. February “flash freezing” is a real risk when wet pavement meets freezing air.
Saturday improves with a slight early rain/snow chance, then sunshine returns. Highs reach 55°. Saturday night turns cold, dropping to 28° under mostly clear skies.
Sunday brings a noticeable warm-up, climbing to 64° with mostly sunny skies. Washington’s Birthday feels even milder, with highs near 65° and partly sunny conditions.
President’s Day Week grows more active and windy. Tuesday stands out. Gusts could reach 40 mph, creating blowing dust and elevated fire weather concerns across southern Colorado. A 40% shower chance develops Tuesday, followed by a chance of snow showers Wednesday as cooler air filters in.
The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures expanding across the central U.S., signaling a broader warming trend into late next week despite midweek wind and snow chances.
