Today’s outlook
Today, temperatures will hover in the 70‑degree range across western Colorado. Small, spotty showers may develop over the higher terrain, but most of the lower valleys will remain dry. A light breeze is expected between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., with gusts generally staying under 20 mph. The overall pattern points to a comfortable day for outdoor activities, errands, and work‑site tasks.
Tomorrow and the rest of the week
Tomorrow continues the warm trend, with increasing cloud cover but still mild temperatures. Highs will be in the low 70s for El Paso County and the mid‑70s for Pueblo County. The same afternoon breeze window (2 p.m.‑3 p.m.) is forecast, providing a gentle wind without significant gusts.

Dry conditions are expected to persist in El Paso County through Thursday, giving residents a reliable stretch of pleasant weather for planning weekend outings, gardening, or construction projects. Pueblo County may see a few more clouds later in the week, but temperatures will remain comfortably warm.
What this means for locals
For families, the extended warm spell offers a great opportunity for outdoor recreation—whether it’s a hike in the nearby foothills, a bike ride along the Pikes Peak Greenway, or a simple backyard barbecue. Parents can also take advantage of the mild weather for school‑yard activities and community events without worrying about extreme heat or cold.
Local businesses, especially those in the hospitality and tourism sectors, can anticipate steady foot traffic as visitors and residents alike enjoy the agreeable climate. Restaurants with patio seating, outdoor markets, and recreation outfitters should see a modest boost in patronage.
Looking ahead
While the forecast remains favorable through Thursday, residents should stay aware of any updates, especially regarding the spotty showers that could affect higher elevations. A quick check of the local radar or a glance at the KRDO weather page will keep everyone informed.
Overall, the warm, dry conditions provide a welcome respite after recent cooler periods, supporting both daily life and the region’s vibrant outdoor culture.
