Residents of El Paso County and the western sections of Teller County should remain cautious as a dense fog advisory stays in force until 9 a.m. today. Visibility has fallen to less than a quarter mile at times, creating hazardous driving conditions on local roadways, especially along the I‑25 corridor.
Today’s outlook
The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service in Pueblo, calls for drivers to use low‑beam headlights, reduce speed, and allow extra stopping distance. Fog patches are expected to linger through the morning, with the most limited visibility occurring in low‑lying valleys and near water bodies.
Temperatures on Sunday will be cooler, with most areas reaching only the high 40s to low 50s Fahrenheit. Skies will stay mostly cloudy, though a few small pockets of sunshine may break through the overcast layer.
Tomorrow’s forecast
Monday morning will start off freezing for many locations. Colorado Springs is forecast to dip to 32 °F, marking the first sub‑freezing temperature of the week. As the day progresses, partly cloudy conditions will develop, accompanied by light winds that should help disperse the lingering fog.
Tuesday’s weather
By Tuesday, the forecast calls for more sunshine than clouds across the region, offering a welcome break from the foggy conditions. Temperatures are expected to warm into the low 60s along the I‑25 corridor. However, residents of the high country should prepare for scattered snow showers beginning around 4 p.m. and continuing into the overnight hours. The precipitation is expected to stay west of the main population centers.
Safety reminders
Motorists are urged to stay alert, use fog lights when appropriate, and avoid unnecessary travel during the advisory period. Those traveling on rural roads should be especially vigilant for reduced visibility and possible icy patches in early morning hours.
