COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The first light hits Pikes Peak, its upper slopes catching a faint pink hue against a calm November sky. Down in the city, crisp air hangs still — a quiet signal that Colorado’s next cool-down is already forming to the north.
After a few mild, mostly sunny days, a shift in the pattern begins this weekend. The National Weather Service in Pueblo calls for clear skies through Saturday with highs hovering near 60°F to 64°F, but colder air creeps in by Sunday, driving lows into the upper 20s. That means frosty mornings could greet early risers and outdoor workers across El Paso County by the start of next week.
Thursday and Friday will stay pleasant — dry, bright, and slightly breezy at times with northwest winds gusting near 15 mph. It’s an ideal window for travel or late-season yardwork before the next chill sets in. Saturday holds steady under sunshine and highs in the upper 50s, a bit cooler than Friday but still comfortable for outdoor events or early Veterans Day celebrations.
By Sunday, residents will feel the season’s edge return. Expect highs near 51°F and a sharp drop after sunset. Winds turn light but cold, hinting at a more wintry setup heading toward Tuesday.
The long-range outlook keeps Colorado Springs dry but trending colder into mid-November. Gardeners and ranchers should prepare for freezing lows early next week, with possible hard frost in lower valleys Monday and Tuesday morning.
