Colorado residents can expect a mixed weather pattern this weekend. While Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the eastern plains enjoy warm highs in the mid‑to‑high 60s today, the forecast shifts toward cooler temperatures and increasing moisture later in the week.
Today: Warm and dry
Highs today will sit in the 60s across Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the surrounding plains. Conditions are expected to remain dry with breezy winds, offering a pleasant start to the weekend for outdoor activities.
Tomorrow: Cooler with scattered showers
Temperatures dip slightly tomorrow, with highs ranging from the low 50s to the low 60s. A disturbance moving southeast of the region could bring scattered morning showers and isolated storms across the plains. Friday will see additional isolated showers and thunderstorms in other areas.
Friday night: Flooding potential rises
As the disturbance moves into the southwest part of the state, flood risk increases, especially across the San Juan Mountains, the San Luis Valley and surrounding communities. Residents in these areas should stay alert for rapid water level rises and be prepared to follow any local emergency instructions.
Weekend outlook: Continued rain and cooling
Saturday night through Monday, the forecast calls for a higher chance of rain in the San Juan Mountains and the San Luis Valley. The National Weather Service is tracking additional showers along and east of I‑25 on Saturday (Halloween) and Sunday. Temperatures will gradually fall, with highs by Monday settling in the mid‑to‑high 50s across Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the plains.
Looking ahead: Monday brings more precipitation
Monday’s outlook shows an increase in precipitation chances for the Front Range, signaling a potentially wetter start to the next week. Residents should monitor local forecasts and road conditions, especially in low‑lying and flood‑prone areas.
Safety reminders
Authorities advise anyone traveling near rivers, streams or low‑lying roads to exercise caution. If you notice rising water levels, avoid crossing flooded roadways and follow any evacuation orders from local officials. Keeping an emergency kit with water, non‑perishable food, flashlights and a battery‑powered radio is recommended.
