Colorado Springs residents can look forward to a pleasant weekend as a strong ridge of high pressure settles over the region. Sunday will see temperatures climbing into the high 60s east of I‑25, with direct sunlight making it feel even warmer. The dry, sunny pattern is expected to continue through the work week, offering a welcome break from the colder November weather that has lingered earlier in the month.
Sunday: A mild start to the weekend
Morning lows will sit in the mid‑40s, but daytime highs will rise into the high 60s across most of the eastern corridor. Residents should expect clear skies and plenty of sunshine, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, or a family picnic. Winds will be light in the morning, picking up after noon with gusts reaching up to 20 mph in the evening, so a light jacket may be advisable for those heading out after sunset.
Monday: Warmest day of November so far
Monday will bring the warmest temperatures of the week and the warmest November readings recorded to date. Colorado Springs is forecast to reach a high of 68 °F, while many southeastern neighborhoods could see temperatures as high as 69 °F. The warm air mass will remain dry, limiting any chance of precipitation. With the weekend’s sunshine still lingering, the day will feel comfortable for errands, outdoor work, or a leisurely stroll through downtown.
Tuesday: Warm afternoons after cool mornings
Tuesday will start with cooler morning temperatures in the low 40s, but the afternoon will warm quickly. From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the high 60s will return, providing a pleasant contrast to the chilly start. Colorado Springs will stay dry, and the breezy conditions will continue, with gusts again possible in the early evening.
What this means for residents
The extended period of dry, sunny weather offers a great opportunity for families to enjoy the outdoors, especially those looking to take advantage of the many parks and trails in the area. It also provides a favorable environment for local businesses that rely on foot traffic, such as cafés, boutique shops, and outdoor recreation outfitters.
While the forecast is for warm and dry conditions, residents should remain aware of the wind gusts expected each evening. Secure loose items on patios or decks, and drive cautiously on exposed roadways, especially in higher elevations where gusts can be stronger.
Overall, the upcoming days present a welcome stretch of mild weather for Colorado Springs, supporting both family activities and local commerce as the community heads into the latter part of November.
